Dear Friend.
Welcome to Hcm. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
For hyperuricemia first of all we need to find the cause.
Please share with me your age ,sex and uric acid levels.
Now when you talk just about gout, I advice following:
1. Serum uric acid levels and treatment for acute gout.
2. Low protein diet.
3. No meat and non vegetarian diet.
4. No beer and alcohol.
Actually its not diet it's you who has to take care of your hyperuricemia..
Share your complete medical history for a better help..

My age is 74 years and 5'10" in height and am over-weight at 310 lbs. I do not know my serum uric acid levels, in fact I don't know what serum uric acids are. All I know is the joints in my foot and ankle are swollen and painful. Thanks for any dietary advice you can offer until I can get an appointment to see my doctor.
Brief Answer:
Detail Follows
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
It is not essential that you have gout if you have pain and swelling over joints.
Serum Uric acid levels reflects the uric acid levels in the body which causes Gout.
You might be having rheumatoid arthritis or other problem.
Dietary advice given for Gout is that you should take low protein diet , that means you should not take excess of pulses , red meat. You should not take any alcohol specially beer.
I would suggest you to get evaluation to rule out what problem actually you have.
Good Luck.
