There are many websites that could help you find information on a gout diet. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gout-diet/MY01137 is one website that has a detailed description of a gout diet, including the purpose, diet details, results, and risks of being on a gout diet.
The gout diet is not a diet to lose weight. It is a diet you follow if you have gout. Please see the following: www.mayoclinic.com/health/gout-diet/MY01137 -

I was given a treatment for H.pylori (amoxicillin, chlaritomycin and omeprazol) and developed gout on a vegetarian diet and alcohol abstention this is anecdotal, but I bet the answer is yes!
Black olives themselves do not cause gout; in fact, they are low in purines, which are substances that can lead to increased uric acid levels and trigger gout attacks. Gout is primarily associated with high-purine foods, such as red meat, certain seafood, and alcoholic beverages. Including black olives in your diet may even be beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory properties. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional regarding diet and gout management.
It has not been my experience that movement helps the conditions of gout. When you get it, ice and not moving the affected area is what helps the most. The second most important thing to do is to change your diet. Usually diet is the cause of gout and it's the one thing you can do to cure it and hopefully prevent yourself from getting it again.
Salt itself does not directly cause gout, but a diet high in salt can contribute to overall health issues that may exacerbate gout symptoms. Gout is primarily triggered by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, often due to high purine foods, obesity, and dehydration. However, excessive sodium intake can lead to hypertension and kidney problems, which might affect the body's ability to eliminate uric acid. Maintaining a balanced diet and proper hydration is essential for managing gout.
A diet high in purines leads to gout - the body cannot effectively breakdown uric acid, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines - this uric acid buildup is the cause of gout. If the diet is modified to restrict the intake of purines then gout symptoms can be reduced. Foods rich in purines, which should be avoided include beer, wine, fortified wines, red meat, offal and seafood
Gout can be inherited or it can be caused secondary to other disease such as kidney failure, certain enzyme malfunctions, chemotherapy (high cell turn over) and diet such as alcohol consumption and red meat and seafood.
Without treatment, gout may cause severe damage in the joints and cause the tissues in the surrounding area to be destructed. If the joints are continuously destructed and the gout is left untreated then there could be a result of lasting deformities (such as permanent feet damage).
It does not so much cause gout as interfere with the body's ability to deal with it.
