As a nutritionist, are you familiar with celery and celery seed for gout?
It contains a compound, 3nb, which acts like allopurinol ... but seems safer.
celery seed
3-nbutylphthalide, or 3nB
inhibits the enzyme xanthine oxidase
I've taken it in capsules for years now, two a day, and it seems to help, pretty much preventing gout flares, at least as long as I watch my diet!

I couldn't eat it because I am on FODMAP for IBS. Nothing celery except extract juice,
People with active kidney inflammation should not take celery seed. People with low blood pressure should use caution when considering taking celery seed as a supplement. Some people who are allergic to birch pollen may also be allergic to celery seed.
