Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
It is not a rich man's disease!!
Gout is due to excess uric acid production. You can control the symptoms to some extent by modifying your diet. Avoid red meat, cheese and canned food.
Alcohol can provoke a gouty attack, spo it is better to avoid alcohol,
Pain generally starts early in the morning and last for few hours.
Thanks
