@jackiie Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! as you can see, you're certainly not alone in having a gout attack. How well I recall my first attack! Like many others, it came on suddenly. Since then I have been on allopurinol 100 mg once a day. I stay away from pork/pork products, shellfish, purines [sure do miss mushrooms!], alcoholic beverages, and a lot of red meat. It seems each person will find the best combination of what works for them.
