What has been the under lying thing you have read, take what ever, but drink lots of water. The way I had it explained to me was the sugar that you ingest, (red meats ect) harden in the joints and sit there, and then you drink alcohol which triggers the sugar and you have gout. You can get it in any joint in your body. The reason it is the feet, more then not, is because the blood flows to the feet being the lowest point in your body and fills the cavity with sugar. The alcohol then triggers the cavity into erupting and you have gout. The consumption of water triggers the gout into thinking that not enough alcohol has been drunk and therefore everything is cool. I may have made up some of it, but you get the drift. Wish I could learn to spell!
