Dear doc, is there a cure or treatment for gout? what foods, drinks and fruits to avoid? thanks you

Gout: Gout is the excess production of uric acid. This is typically from protein metabolism, so reducing proteins in the diet can help. Medically allopurinol which inhibits uric acid production has been a helpful medication. https://familydoctor.org/condition/gout/
