Is there any recommendations regarding cherries at reducing either acute episode

There are no clinical guidelines or evidence-based recommendations in the UK NICE guidelines or associated authoritative sources regarding the use of cherries for reducing acute gout episodes or the frequency of gout attacks.

The NICE guideline on gout diagnosis and management states that there is not enough evidence to show that any specific diet prevents flares or lowers serum urate levels, and advises people with gout to follow a healthy, balanced diet instead. No mention is made of cherries or cherry products as a recommended intervention for gout flare prevention or treatment.

Management of gout flares and long-term treatment focus on pharmacological therapies such as NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids, and urate-lowering therapies like allopurinol or febuxostat, alongside lifestyle advice targeting weight management and alcohol consumption. Dietary modifications are considered to have little effect on urate concentration, and cherries are not included in the recommended management strategies.
