Thought I'd chime in on this as many of the advice options given can all work but there have been good studies recently on the supplemental use of Lithium and Folate supplements that can lower Uric Acid levels and work quickly to give complete relief. Both of these you can find in most vitamin stores or online but I would talk to a functional medicine doc who would carry brands much more reputable then what you will find at a drug store or GNC if you can (MD/DO/DC - search locally and you'll find them). I prefer Biotic Labs brand myself and for gout some suggest the product Li-Zyme Forte 2 tablets every waking hour and Folate 25mg per day for acute attacks ....this should clear up the attack within 2-3 days if it's going to work.

Black Cherry Juice, Lemon Juice, Celery Juice all have enzymes in them to help as well and are good for you otherwise so again safe to take. Diet needs to change, processed meats, wine, beer, etc. all needs to me limited.....can't keep pouring sugar in your gas tank and expect your car to run well!

Hope this helps
