Finding the right out treatment might be challenging as what works for one person may not work for another.  Some find that changing their diet and exercising more helps while others need over-the-counter medicines to treat their attacks.  One gout treatment that has positive effects is to try to stick to foods with low purine levels.  This is because foods with high purine levels caused uric acid to build up in the system and this is what causes gout. So eliminating some high purine foods and switching to lower ones can help treat gout. 

Gout treatment usually means more that taking medication. This can mean making lifestyle changes that include changing one’s diet and exercising more often. This can include any type of exercise. Those with gout should not exercise when they are having an attack, however, this could make the pain even worse. Wait until the pain has gone away then continue with the gout treatment. In most cases, people have reported having less attacks of gout once they changed their eating and other habits.

As you get older you are preferred out treatment I change.  As you age you may not be as active as you once were and they may need to turn to medicines to treat your attacks.  Gout itself can come and go over the years and you may have long periods of time when you are not affected by it and then it can come back again when you least expect it. For best results it's a good idea to avoid foods with high purine levels and also try to eat a lot of foods that have anti-inflammatory properties.
