The best way to treat gout is to manage your diet and lifestyle. This includes avoiding foods that are high in purines, such as organ meats, anchovies, sardines, mackerel, gravy, and shellfish. You should also limit alcohol intake, as it can increase uric acid levels. Additionally, you may need to take medication to reduce inflammation and pain associated with gout flares.
