Gout is when uric acid crystallizes in a joint, usually the one in the big toe. The crystal shape is like a needle and it causes lots of pain and inflamation.

Is broccoli safe for gout?
To help with gout you want to eat foods low in purines, which cause elevated uric acid levels, which is the main cause of gout. But this is counter-intuitive because many high purine foods are shown to help with gout, like meats and oatmeal. Yogurt has been shown that when integrated into a healthy diet can help lower uric acid levels. But, and this is a big but, it really depends on the type of yogurt because most are high in added sugar which is no good. I suggest plain greek yogurt like Fage, or Chobaini.
