Green Barley and gout

[Khundon1975]

My latest blood test shows that I may well be susceptible to gout, despite me eating a good diet.

My Doc does not want to give me more medication and has pointed me to Green Barley powder.

Does anyone have any experience with this substance in treating or stopping one getting gout?

if google tranlate is correct on this one to my language, it can be a serios illness,so I think i would
get a second opinion,just to be 100 %.

I have no experience whit this, but wish you all the best.

Painfull but not serious bsdk1960

That is why I and my doctor, are trying to prevent it without using medication.

I suffered a couple bouts 20+ years ago and my doctor wanted me to take a medicine.

I didn't want to so did some research and found Korean Red Ginseng helped. I started a regiment of 4 pills a day and never had another problem again, in fact I quit the ginseng 5 years ago.

The study was specific it had to be Korean Red, not one of the many other types.

Good Luck!

Good to hear ,and I agree to avoid the medicine, and go for some natural stuff first when possible.

Good luck with the treatment..

I have had two attacks in the last 36 years, the fird=st one they gave mme a magic pill which caused the pain to go in minutes the next attack was 36 years later when again I was given a tablet to releave the pain but was advised by the doc not to eat shellfish.
That was 6 years years ago and all has been well.
Never heard of Green Barley its not been mentioned in my treatments.

I too suffer from gout and am currently taking half a Puride 500 tablet a day to control the uric acid but if I get any attacks I have used diclofenic sodium and/or colchicine tablets, but like you would much rather take a "natural" remedy, so will follow this thread with interest. As most gout sufferers will be aware, that the wrong diet can spark an attack, but I have read conflicting guidance on things to avoid - chicken being one on the list, which here in Thailand is sometimes difficult to avoid completely.

Many thanks for this thread Khundon it has helped me greatly
for the last couple of weeks i have been waking up with pain in fingers wrist elbow knees and ankles and a strong body odour
as soon as i read your post a light went of in my head i had forgotten about my previous bout a long time ago
I was about to take Mr Ps advice go to doc then alt med and if they couldnt cure me cure myself
decided that if i could cure myself why waste time with previous two
before i went to bed that night i told myself when i wake up feeling like a slash instead of ignoring it get up and pee (which i do not normally do) so i did
next morning still some knee and ankle pain but wrist finger and elbows were fine
last night i did same again still some stiffness in my legs but vastly improved over yesterday and i can even stand my own smell
Today i am going to up my medication by only drinking water
let you know results tommorrow

Unbelievably good link MrP its the way you tell um

I told him that their was a cure for inflammation but the FDA wouldn't let people know about it because the pharmaceutical company was putting too much pressure on them that they banned in America. I told him that they let pets use it though and I bought some for horses and it was called DMSO. I ask him if he would like some on his finger and he said yes. The next day he said it took his pain away. We put more on and the next day it was half the size that it was."

Sarge. You continue to flame in blatant breach of forum rules.

The site was posted by 'winkie' 3 years ago on a previous gout thread. The example you mocked may be accurate (you have no way of knowing), ACV has worked for others for a variety of conditions and the disclaimer on health-related sites, as far as I know, is a legal requirement.

Please allow those who may be interested, to read suggestions without trying to disparage them.
