gout is exacerbated by eating foods in the nightshade family so steer clear of eggplant, white potatoes and tomatoes. Also eat less animal protein. Gout will get better faster even if you take medication.

I have chronic gout . I take Indocin as needed and you should get some prescription pain meds for the pain.. because it gets really bad at times.. If it becomes chronic you may have to take Colchicine . keep your foot elevated and stay off of it. Walking will only make it worse and longer to go away. Drink LOTS AND LOTS of water and cherry juice. Ice helps sumtimes if you can stand having the ice on your toe..sometimes it hurts to much to have anything touch it.
Causes of gout are different for everyone .. Foods with high purines are mainly the cause.
Message me if ya have any more questions.
