I have tried some of the changes in diet to no effect, but I'll give anything a go, so I'll try the banana chips and cherrys, sounds appetizing at least!
The factor of future joint damage is of concern to me, anyone been diagnosed with any long term ill effects yet?

I too have done the diet change, I had already stopped drinking before I had my
1st attack, already drank lots of water, didn't eat much shellfish, hell, I have never been one to eat a lot of anything, and it still flares up, on maintenance meds & other stuff, have to have blood work every 3 months to make sure my liver & kidneys are OK
Every morning, my ankles & knees crack like twigs when I move, guess crystals rubbing..
Yea, getting old isn't fun, but sure as hell beats the alternative...
