Hello,
I have studied your case . Gout is a metabolic disease and you need to control your diet to prevent its progression. It can be done by avoiding seeds, high protein diet and red meat and alcohol. Also do not eat lot of foods in a binge.
You said that you are taking allopurinol since long time and it is not showing any good effect, so you can shift to Fabuxostat. this is also a very good medicine and it is given in cases where Fabuxostat is not effective.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
