If you stick to the Gout Diet, your symptoms will improve.

I have no idea if marijuana will help the pain of gout.

The answer above is correct about diet being a good thing in the long-term to help with gout, but just changing your diet isn't going to help you make it thru today or tomorrow with the pain.

Try indomethacine, colchicine from the doctor. Those are both good for the attacks.

Sorry to hear the allopurinol upsets your stomach.

Drink lots of water, 1 oz for every 2 lbs of body weight. And in addition to avoiding bad gout foods and eating good gout foods, google on "gout nettle" to see some other things you can take daily that might help keep that dang gout pain from coming back.

Good luck to you!
