First - in order for this to resolve you need some gout medication or it is going to take a long time to get better. Second, avoid red meat and greasy/fried stuff for a while. Purines (meat) is a primary cause of gout.

Fast, liquids only for a couple of days. Drink plenty of water.
Flush the fats and rich foods out of your system. This will frequently cause gall stones also and pain the in gall bladder.
Then eat low fat, lean meat and fish diet with LOTS OF VEGGIES AND FRUIT. NOTHING FRIED AND NOTHING RICH.

My suggestion is to see a Dr. to treat the Gout, but for preventitive action, may I suggest to drink Acai juice. It has the 4-6 recomended daily fruit servings in a 4 oz serving.
Would you allow me to send some information to you on this amazing nutritional beverage? The juice contains the most potent antioxidant in the world -- the Acai Berry. Since you asked about food, I thought you might be interested. Please let me know if you would like to receive the information on the juice. Thank you for your time.
Here is my website to see what this product is about:

The belief that diet "causes" gout has been around for centuries. In reality, a condition called hyperuricemia is the primary risk factor for gout. Hyperuricemia is the term used to describe high levels of uric acid in the blood. You may hear suggestions that eating or avoiding certain foods is the "key" to controlling gout. But uric acid is a natural product of the body—part of your body's basic metabolism. Although uric acid can be reduced with dietary changes, the way your kidneys process uric acid can be more important than diet. No one can predict exactly when an attack might occur for someone with hyperuricemia. It may be triggered by something you eat or drink, or it may be triggered by certain medicines, the presence of an illness, stressful events, or some other factor. Many times it may be difficult to say what triggered a specific attack. The level of uric acid in the blood is the only true measurement that can be made. Having your doctor measure your uric acid levels may help predict your chances of having a future attack. If you think that diet acts as a trigger for your gout attacks, changing your diet may help, but it is important to talk to your doctor about choosing the right diet for you. Despite what many people may think about "low-purine" diets, they may not have a very large impact on the level of uric acid in the blood. Instead, you and your doctor may discuss basic healthy dietary changes, such as eating a balanced diet and avoiding foods that are high in purines. If you're overweight or obese, you should discuss weight management as well since obesity is one of several conditions commonly associated with gout.
Things to try immediately on your own:
Increase your fluids, drinking plenty of fluids helps to dilute uric acid in the urine. Drink 8 to 12 cups of fluid a day. Water, herbal teas, vegetable juice, milk, unsweetened fruit juices and soup all count towards your daily intake. Eat high carbohydrate foods: breads, cereal, rice, pasta, fruit and most vegetables. Don't drink alcohol or caffeine. Alcohol contains purines and also interferes with the body's ability to rid itself of uric acid. You can purchase Vitamin B12 over the counter, this may help you feel better to supplement your body for what you will be depriving it of by not eating meats, poultry & eggs (you need to avoid all of these due to their purine content). Black cherries seems to help some people; maybe because of plant compounds found in cherries called anthocyanins. Eat hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds, these foods contain health promoting omega 3 fatty acids, to reduce joint inflammation. Also celery seeds have been known to help halt gout flare-ups
