It has been about four years, my mother-in-law was complaining of her pain. She felt a tremendous pain in the joints of her feet and hands, especially in the night and morning after sleep. After we took her to the doctor, she was diagnosed suffering gout.

Gout is a metabolic disease marked by a painful inflammation of the joints, deposits of urates in and around the joints, and usually an excessive amount of uric acid in the blood (merriam-webster.com)

Due to excessive weight, lately, my mother-in law could not be able to walk anymore. It's sad to see, she could only sit and sleep at home without doing anything.

Finally, my wife came to the conclusion that she needed a help. She cured her with food diet. Here you are the list of yes food and no food for her so far:

No Food:

1. organ meat such as kidney, spleen, tripe, intestines, liver, lung and brain
2. Seafood such as shrimp, squid, cuttlefish, clams, mussels, oysters, crabs, anchovies, and sardines.

4. poultry such as chicken, ducks, geese and turkeys
5. legumes such as soybeans, peanuts, green beans, bean sprouts
