cherry juice works

I went to health food store and black cherry juice was
suggested to help with gout.I took the juice every hour
the first day every 2 hours the second day.It took away the pain and inflamation.I even worked some those 2 days.
The only side effect was frequent trips to the bathroom.
The next time I found the sugar in the juice gave me frequent bowel movements.Compared to the pain of the gout
I would take the runs.
