Gout usually occurs in middle aged men of up to the mid-40s. It tends often to be accompanied in this group with obesity, high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and heavy alcohol use.

Aside from inherited genetic disorders that cause hyperuricemia, gout in children is rare.

Is there a way to lower my uric acid level besides a uric acid level?
Plenty of fluids - no alcohol, good diet, no shellfish. Yes, Hydrocodone will ease the pain but the cause of the pain remains which is the build up of uric acid crystals - yes crystals - in the joints which is why it is so painful. The Japanese eat a lot of seafood but it is particularly consumption of shellfish mainly which seems to act as a trigger for attacks of gout. Allopurinol is good for suppressing gout in the long term but it should not be used for acute attacks as it causes an initial increase in uric acid production before it stabilises it. Coca cola should make no difference to it as although it is acidic due to carbonic acid it would be neutralised during absorption into the body. Although your body would take on an acid load , it compensates by regulating your body pH by causing you to respire more frequently so getting rid of more CO2 and H2O which are the constituents of carbonic acid - HCO3- and H+
Yes. Chicken is on the menu and good for the gout patient. Food high in Purine should be avoided. Protein sources should be soy, lean meat and poultry.
Not likely all. However, read the following indicated below.
The symptoms of gout will stop completely a week or so after an acute attack without any intervention. It is important, however, to be diagnosed and treated by a health care practitioner in order to avoid attacks of increasing severity in the future and to prevent permanent damage to the joints, kidneys, and other organs. During an acute attack, treatment should focus on relieving pain and inflammation. On an ongoing basis, the focus is on maintaining normal uric acid levels, repairing tissue damage, and promoting tissue healing.
