Gout and Minute Maid Lemonade

Hello fellow Gentlegouts.

I rarely get gout flare out.. Maybe once per 2 years.

I've recently had a gout flare up and it's been a couple of months now. I got myself some Prednisone and it was almost gone and then It came back

It seems that the only change in diet was that I switched from coke/Pepsi to Minute Maid Lemonade.. I noticed that it started getting pain around the time I switched as it was free at work.

Every time Im away from work, it seems like it gets better and then the pain comes back when I start drinking the minute maid lemonade again.

Now, I got some prednisone and the pain was almost gone and I quit my work.. but since i still have some lemonade in the house I drank some more and now it's back again.

I just wanted to see if anyone had similar experience with Minute Maid Lemonade and sort of confirm my theory of another item to avoid.

Thank you in advance ..
