Re: I'm having gout - is it because of ACV + DE?

Small amounts of dulse can still be ingested, but you need to counter the uric acid somehow such as more water and malic acid. Nettle leaf, juniper berry, celery seed, and avoiding alcohol can also help with keeping uric acid levels down.

Thanks, I'm glad I can still take the Dulse and it won't go to waste!

What about lemon + baking soda mixture? Since it's very alkalizing, I think it could also help to counter the uric acid which is acidic, right?

Not really.  First of all the mixture would create sodium citrate, so there would not be free bicarbonate for alkalinizing. 

Even if you took the baking soda straight the baking soda would be neutralized by the stomach acid forming sodium chloride.  And the neutralization of stomach acid would lead to all sort of other problems from nutrient deficiencies to infections.  If you took an excess of baking soda then some would get in to the bloodstream acting to neutralize some of the uric acid, but you still run in to the problems that a lack of stomach acid would present.

Lemon juice itself is not alkaline.  It stimulates an alkaline response in the body by stimulating the release of bicarbonate in to the bloodstream.  On the other hand lemon juice does contain some malic acid, which dissolves uric acid.  So the lemon juice in water is good, but I would leave out the baking soda.
