Hi SusieQ, I don't see why a little wine would hurt you. You can eat all the good foods if you eat in moderation; don't have them everyday. My dad suffered from gout and he loveed to eat fish; so go figure. It is can be passed down from family members as my brother had it also; he loved fish too. Get better. I think a lot of rest of good for gout. I know my dad couldn't walk so he was in bed rest. It took time and soon he was better. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 5/30/2013 10:39:12 A.M.

Marty: You are just killing me........:) All the things you mentioned comprise most of my diet.....I usually have wine every evening......I eat Shrimp, red meat, Beef hot dogs, green leafy veggies, mushrooms, almost everything you mentioned. *smile*, no wonder I could have a problem with Gout if all these are causes. The Cherry Juice as well as eating a handful of dried Cherries seem to be helping a lot. I don't have the pain as bad in my left foot as bad as well as the pain I was having in the middle fingers on the right hand has disappeared. A lot of the pain I had running up and down my shins is gone & I don't have the joint pain as much now. So, I am going to be changing up my diet now along with the Cherry Juice & Cherries. Hopefully, I won't have to take any other drugs. I did talk to the nurse practitioner yesterday at my six month check up, she just couldn't see that the Gout wouldn't be because of the Leukemic Cells leaving as I've been "none detected" for quite some time now. But, she did put me down for a Uric Acid test for my next visit. I thought, good grief, that's six months away. She did tell me to continue on with the natural methods since they seem to be working for me. LOL!!! Most doctors want to push more pills at 'cha. On another note, my blood counts were all very good (red cells (3.4) & platelets (190) were both running a bit low, but not bad). The whole visit went very well and as we finished up, I mentioned to her if the BCR-ABL comes back "none detected" again this time, could we think about dropping the Gleevec to 100mgs a day (I am on 200mgs for past year, before that I was taking 400mgs since the beginning.). I looked her in the eye and said "It will be 10 years this January that I was first dx'ed". She said, "That's right, it has hasn't it?" Then she told me that if the test returns negative once again, that yes we could do that and she would call me and let me know. Whoo-hoo! That makes me extremely happy.......This has been one long journey, that's for sure. It's good hearing from all of you and thank you for your comments and helpfulness. It seems that all the time I have been with CMLHope, I have received more helpful and useful information than I ever have from Novartis or my doctors. And with OBAMACARE soon upon us, I think it will come down to you and I helping each other more than being able to depend up on our doctors or insurances. Y'all take care and keep looking up, time is drawing near!
