I'm at 900mg of Allopurinol a day and since this dosage was started, I haven't had an attack or even a twinge from my gout. The Allopurinol didn't raise my liver enzymes and I have had no side effects at all. I do not eat a single thing that is on the list of gout trigger foods and my liver specialist and rheumatologist both insist (as I do) that diet doesn't have much, if any effect on gout as some people creat uric acid in excess amounts and they cannot excrete it. Managing your gout with diet alone is ineffective, at least it has been for me.

I drink 1 gallon of water (as PowerAde) a day, no alcohol, no red meat, no HFCS, no fatty or fried foods...
