How do I cure the pain from gout while pregnant?
I am 12 weeks pregnant and was just diagnosed with gout. I can't take the meds needed to help while I am pregnant. I have a 2 year old that I am trying to chase around and can't hardly move my foot due to the pain. How do I get rid of the pain without endangering my unborn baby?

Take a lot of vitamin C (breaks up the uric acid crystals) and stop eating meat (makes uric acid aka gout) until you’re better.

where abouts is it? If its on the foot or something like that I have heard people swear by soaking there foot in apple cider vinegar. They say the acidity from the vinegar draws the gout away, sounds pretty amazing. give it ago… The people I have talked to soaked it for about an hour.
Also celery seed tablets from health food stores brings relief to gout. Acts as a anti-inflammatory…
Gout is caused by a increased concentration of uric acid. Foods that cause this are; organ meats, prawns and lobster

Get medical treatments from a licensed professional to help ease the pain. They should prescribe you some treatments for gout symptoms such as pain.
"Some things that can be done to prevent gout attacks include: losing weight, drinking less alcohol, eating moderate amounts of protein, and a low fat diet. It is important to have a high liquid intake to help flush the uric acid out with the urine." http://www.uihealthcare.com/topics/bonesjointsmuscles/bone4239.html
Restrict foods which cause higher uric acid levels (i.e. pork , beans). Take vitamin B.
