I have suffered from gout for a lot of years now.
All i do now is take an Allopurinol pill every day (cheap) and i haven't had it for about 4 years now.
When i first started on it, and if i forgot to take it for 2 days in a row, i would get gout again and it would take days to get relief again until the pill overcame the uric acid crystals built up in my joints, specifically my two big toes.
I learned the hard way to make sure i take it daily around the same time.
I have had no side effects from taking Allopurinol.
My big triggers were tomatoes, beef steaks, shellfish, and acidic fruit juices.
I still consume these, but not any more than weekly for each of them and it works for me.
