You can,
sorry to hear of your pain. I got gout that bad in thialand and could hardly walk. I,m like you and not suppose to have anti inflamatories. I have had gout before so knew what it felt like.
It flared again on the opti fast shakes as I had to do 6 weeks preop.
The area should be red and warm if it's gout.
I find tomatoes and the high protein diet will bring it on. Need to drink heaps. My urine smells strong of nitrites when I have a flare up.
We're not having red meat or wine so it must be the high protein diet. But that's my personal experience.
Drink plenty, no red meat, wine and it should go but it is very painful as its crystals in the bone joint. Can tell by a blood test.
