There IS gout commentary here. But not ongoing because people don't pursue it. I found out I had gout 25 years AFTER two flares sending me to the hospital and a couple smaller ones. I adopted a low purine diet. But no longer did that work. Someone here posted about Zazzeee tart cherry capsules 10,000:1 on Amazon.

I bought and my 30 years of problems about evaporated. I was tested and my uric acid was high. So I asked for the Allopurinol. It made a HUGE difference. So I am a believer. There are two kinds of gout (I wrote about here recently.) Tomatoes are not a trigger. Why? Because although they are acidic your body MOVES to an alkaline environment to stabilize your body. The other kind of gout which is caused by calcium deposits does not react to food. https://www.arthritis.org/diseases/more-about/gout-or-pseudogout
drink lots of fluids. I eat enormous amounts of tomatoes. Does not move my uric acid level.

Yes, I also experience pseudo-gout, and I was going to ask if anyone has heard any insight whether one might somehow trigger the other, or over time if both tend to occur together. One might irritate the joint and the other move in, for example.
I gather, after some recent research, that the fructose channel to uric acid happens in very short order, minutes or at most hours, and it may then vanish almost as quickly, leaving you with a few crystals or at least bruised joint membranes. It might therefore not show up on a blood panel if you are not suffering the consequences at that very moment.
