Gout question?

Any men have Gout Problems?
and anything seem to help your gout?
Appreciate your help. Thank you, God bless.

Gout is caused by uric acid build up in your system and then crystalizing in your joints. It jus so happens to be a defiency in something called HGPRTase, which is supposed to help with purine degradation. When this doesnt happen, hence, u get the build up.
There are a couple things u can try, but u have to go to the doctor to get them. One is Allopurinol / Allopurine
The other is known as Colchicine
What happens is the xanthine oxidase that converts these purines to uric acid, when u administer this drug, produces a by-product called alloxanthine, which is then an inhibitor of this xanthine oxide which then stops the uric acid formation.
hope this helps.

Plus, i have a biochem final exam 2morrow, wish me luck! =)

I'm 31 and I got gout, hate it. I've been using a drug called Colchicine, wich has helped me. They say eating bananas helps for gout. I should eat more bananas to actually find out. In Mexico you can easily buy this drug, and it's not that expensive.
