Brief Answer:
Avoid red meat, alcohol, and cigarettes!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis of gout.

The main thing to avoid is alcohol, tobacco, and red meat. Eat more of vegetables, fruits and drink much water.

Also, always ask your doctors about medications as some medications can, unfortunately, cause build up of acid and provoke the gouty crisis.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.

Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Regards
