Thanks for the responses,
Elmhar, I think I am going to have to go that route of a complete diet change. I took colchicine over the weekend and actually took too much and had horrible stomach cramping that is actually still going on 4 days later. It helped with the foot pain a bit but I might have to go on some of that medication that lowers the uric acid along with a diet change.
I really messed up with the colchicine. I took 2 tablets and then 1 every two hours ..which was 8 pills total last Saturday. On Sunday all day and through today wednesday I have had stomach distress along with severe diarrhea on Sun, Mon and into Tue. The doctor said I took to much and that a max of 6 in a 24 hour period is enough. I took 8 in a 9 hour period unfortunately and really got wrecked by it. The med bottle didnt give me a limit on how much to take which is really upsetting.
I am definitely going to go the diet route but I might have to take allopurinol just to get my uric acid level down.
Mike
