Research a diet to reduce odds of gout. Drink more than 2L of water a day.

No organ meat and not many nuts.

I get gout rarely in my right big toe. Gout goes after injured joints. I hurt my toe in college rec floor (ball) hockey. I use Vimovo or Naproxen to reduce the inflammation. If I jump on it right away, I can get rid of it in 2-3 days or so.
