Gout is precipitation of monosodium urate crystals into tissue, usually in and around joints, most often causing recurrent acute or chronic arthritis. Acute arthritis is initially monarticular and often involves the first metatarsophalangeal joint; symptoms include acute pain, tenderness, warmth, redness, and swelling. Diagnosis requires identification of crystals in synovial fluid. Treatment of acute attacks is with anti-inflammatory drugs. Attacks are prevented with NSAIDs and/or colchicine, and, for persistent hyperuricemia, allopurinol or uricosuric drugs

One of the most important things you can do is to watch your diet. Gout is caused because your body can not process purines correctly and turns them into uric acid. A diet low in purines can help.

Here is a web page that shows which foods are high in purines.
