Coffee is not bad for gout and in fact the coffee can actually help gout as well as possibly prevent gout from occurring.

Coffee can help reduce gout risk by lowering the bodies uric acid levels by use of several mechanisms in the body.

When you lower that uric acid level you reduce your risk of gout.

The main difference between cellulitis and gout is that cellulitis tends to occur and progress overtime while gout typically occurs and onsets abruptly.

Cellulitis usually progresses from an initial pustule, abscess, ulcer, or patch and gradually expands.

With gout erythema and swelling may enlarge beyond the joint area and affect multiple digits.

There's really no cure for gout but you can do some things at home to help manage the gout and keep the gout flareups from happening.

To help with gout you can drink some tart cherry juice which helps prevent and treat gout.

Eating Celery or drinking celery juice as well as some warm water with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can help manage the gout.

Also gout can be a sign of kidney failure or kidney disease.

Gout for some people is a common warning sign of kidney disease and kidney failure.

So if you do experience gout you should be tested for kidney disease and kidney failure because if kidney failure is left untreated you can die within a few weeks to a month or so depending on how bad your kidneys are.

Gout doesn't always mean you have kidney failure or kidney disease though but it can be a sign of it.

Some people have gout and do not have kidney disease or kidney failure but there are some people who do have gout and then they also have kidney failure.

If you do have kidney failure you'll need to be on dialysis for your kidneys so that you'll survive and hopefully get a kidney transplant as well.

If you do have gout you can also drink some tart cherry juice which helps with the gout flare ups.
