Eat less protein: Uric acid is derived from purines found in animal proteins so you'll need to consider decreasing your protein consumption. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/gout-diet/my01137 for more details. Or talk to your family doc about medication options if you want to continue eating that much protein. Meanwhile, stay hydrated to minimize uric acid crystallizing as gout.
