I've suffered from gout for years. Didn't know what it was in the beginning, and I suffered for some time before the doctors finally figured out what I was dealing with. I've been dealing with this medically and had good success with it, but I would like to get some better solutions that don't involve buying a prescription every three months.
So, I got this book, thinking the recipes would be a good step forward in getting away from the daily pills.
I was wrong.
When the title includes the word "Cookbook', I'm expecting to see some recipes in the book. Suffice to say, there were none.
The "book" is only 22 pages long, but could probably fit on 11. It uses a large font and the lines are all double spaced. It's like that high school book report you wrote back in the day and you did whatever you could to make it look longer than it actually was.
While the "book" does talk about foods in general as they affect gout (foods to avoid, foods to seek out), I was hoping for much more and was sorely disappointed. Most likely it will get donated to Goodwill at some point. It has only a miniscule amount of what I was actually looking for.
As far as it goes, the information is adequate enough, but comparing the amount paid to what was received, it was utterly disappointing. And a waste of money.
