Well the first thing is to talk to your doctor about it, but since you're on allopurinol I guess you did that, but if that's all he has for you, you should ask for a referral to a specialist.

What kind of diet are you on? High purine foods can trigger gout, but there's much more to it, too much carbs and sugar can also do it.

What are you taking for the pain? Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen is much more effective.

Your other conditions and drugs may also count,

Bottom line is that diet should be able to control it for most people, since few doctors, even specialists, know anything about diet - or are willing (or allowed) to talk about it with patients, you may also want to get a referral to a nutritionist, and if possible a nutritionist with special interest and expertise with gout.
