    Gout and Gastric Reflux

    Hi this is Kathy in Colorado. I have had offered on burning feet for about five years. The past year I decided to take more control of my health and lost 25 pounds slowly. Still, the gout pain is getting worse. My uric acid tests at 6.3. I seem to notice that when I even eat fruit now the pain starts immediately. And now I am having other bad symptoms of fatigue, back pain, and a recent blood test showed that I have inflammation going on. Also, a high ferritin level. Iron level is normal though. I am seeing a functional medicine practitioner tomorrow, and I am finally willing to try some meds. But I dread the meds because my liver function is low.

    I had hoped I could finally win this battle With diet choices alone. My feet and especially all of my toes burn constantly and now I canโ€™t sleep because of it. Also, I have gastric reflux and overall feel pretty miserable.

    Any help or suggestions would be very welcomed. What would be the first line of meds to try that have the least amount of side effects?
