Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have gouty arthritis. You should avoid protein rich food and herbal formula. Protein is metabolised in uric acid. You should take drugs like allopurinol according to your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
