Can someone tell me if drinking to much diet soda would cause an attack of gout?

Can someone tell me if drinking to much diet soda would cause an attack of gout?I am a over weight 43 year old female that has had gout attack for the last month and am not sure what to do about this. I am in the middle of dieting and have seen the doctor but was not told why this is happening over and over. I am on medicine but dont want to take it all the time. I dont eat red meat and try to stay away from salty foods. I do eat alot of fruit and have issues when eating oranges so dont know if that is one reason. Can anyone offer any advice on what foods are good to eat and what arent.

I really feel for u - i suffer from gout and it is soooo soooo very painful - macdonalds can set mine off, as can to much alcohlol. but that said, it sometimes doesnt, depends on whatever else i been eating. Gout is the irritation caused by needle like chrystal building up in the blood and ''stabbing'' at the area. This is why it gets inflamed. sugery substances can make the blood thicker if too much, making the blood slightly more concentrated, hence more crystals. id try drinking lots of water to to thin the blood a little, should even even it out. I drink lots of water, it help loads!!! hope this has helped. - good luck!
