    Yes, water is a great gout beater. Tea and coffee do help, as do most soft drinks.

    Yes. water is a great cure- I bought the  Dr.Batmanghelidj book 'You're not Sick,you're Thirsty' a while back.

    He states that after early adulthood one loses the sense of thirst progressively over the years , masking the feeling -by that for hunger.

    By about retirement, we are almost bound to be dehydrated permanently, unless this tendency is fought off.

    I don't think there is an easy solution- apart from 'gaining the habit' as described  in GPs' note here.

    Dr.B was in the Iraq/Iran war decades ago and had nothing to treat his fellow prisoners with and found that most illnesses [Gastric in this instance, but far from solely ] were cured by taking water .

    He had apparently complained that all he had was water, and was tiold to get on with it! So he did.

    A lot of gout cures are a herbal pill and instructions to drink a load of water! Nice earners..

    On  a similar topic for health,I recently found online ,instructions to drink water first thing am. and not eat for 45 minutes and to not drink for 2 hours after meals.

    I can't find the page. I copied the text , however.

    This article was based on research in Japan and covered joint pain ,but not Gout as such -and had quite outlandish claims about cures.Surprised

    However, this is common online -and doesn't mean there's not a lot in there worth considering in lifestyle choices.

    If anyone would like the text ,PM me.
