I've had gout for 10 years now and my attacks are recurring, every year I get 2 to 3 of them. The treatment I use is plain old ibuprofen, as soon as I feel the beginnings of a dull throb I immediately take 3-4 pills than 4-5 hours later I pop another 2 (no the best for your liver but gout symptoms and pain is worst in my opinion). I use advil or generic pills from Costco. Also I drink 2 glasses of water to flush out excessive uric acids.
A few days later I do a 2 day OJ or lemon juice fast to detox my liver from the massive doses of ibuprofen. Works for me so I'm happy. I know my gout attacks are diet related and preventable but you have to be a bunny rabbit to be on a purine free diet
