Go vegetarian!: Stop eating meat if you can. If you eat fish, avoid herring, anchovies and sardines. Drink lots of water and eat a low fat, low protein diet .High potassium foods like most vegetables, as well as cherries can be very helpful. Lose weight if you are overweight. Don't fast when you have gout as the uric acid level goes up during a fast. Vitamin c can lower uric acid level.
