Lots of gout topics on here, do a search
Here is a prior response on another thread that I wrote
About 4 months ago (2 months into Keto) I had an attack of something that may or may not have been gout. At first I thought it was my new sandals. I have never been diagnosed with gout but kidney stones run in my family (uric acid) I am not certain it was gout and there is research that claims there is a link between carbs and gout not meat read the unplublished chapter of Gary Taubes book. There is something about people getting flare ups when they are new to LC, I forget why exactly but you say you have been doing this for a while.
What helped was taking tart cherry pills, celery pills and grape seed extract and Querticin I was trying to avoid going to a conventional doctor. Based on advice I got here I stopped eating anything with Fructose, which was berries. What finally did the trick was drinking apple cider vinegar diluted in some water a couple of times a day. I was already starting to feel better but this made me feel better the next day
