I've made a bunch of changes over time with the main one being less processed food - I was a bit junk food happy!
One that I believe I can feel making a big difference is the juice of a lemon with water, on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. I've perceived this has helped ease attacks when I've had them and so far seems to have helped keep them away. There's a little science that it's meant to help neutralise acids within the blood.
Cherries are meant to also help so I include these in smoothies (frozen).
I mostly stick to wholemeal bread, pasta and brown rice.
I do still eat lots of shellfish, oily fish and enjoy a beer but so far I've avoided a serious attack for a long while. I've not kept a diary but I think it has been 12 to 18 months now. If I do feet a twinge I cut back on seafood and will avoid alcohol but increase lemon in water and cherries.
Oooh lemon, nice one. I now eat a lot of good fats (avocado, nuts, olives) and only eat carbs like bread/rice on the weekend.
I eat a lot of spinach during the weekdays and often mock meats. Also on allopurinol (which did set off gout for a week) but seems to be finally levelling out my uric acid levels.
I have a blood disorder which makes me prone to blood clots for which I have to take Warfarin (a blood thinner). Unfortunately it has interactions with many other drugs which rules them out for me so I tend to try lots of the old wives remedies - some of them seem even seem to work!
I've also found the natural unpasteurised apple cider vinegar (with mother) works pretty well but it's not the most pleasant thing to drink. It can be incorporated into salad dressings though so could be a worth while little and often thing to try.
It's fairly hardcore stuff. I tend to take it as a shot to get it over and done with quickly. Oh how it burns all the way down. Certainly gets one setup for the day though.

Glad to hear you are doing well with it!
