Change your whole diet, Gout is caused by high acid in the blood.

Here is a home remedy that easy to follow and very cheap.
--------------------------------------------
Warming the joints may be accomplished with a foot bath or a heating pad. Hydration requires increasing the volume of drinking water to promote more frequent urination. The advice to drink eight glasses of water per day is based on the general recommendations of the Institute of Medicine which advises that men should consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) and women should consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total water from all beverages and foods. Alkalinization is accomplished by drinking a solution of half a teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) dissolved in a glass of water.[5] This should be done under a doctor's supervision if you have a sodium restricted diet, since each half teaspoon of baking soda has 616 mg of sodium.

Baking soda is commonly used as a leavening agent for baking, but it is also a component of tooth pastes and it is frequently used as an antacid. Food grade sodium bicarbonate meets the requirements specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a substance that is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). The dosage and directions for use as an antacid printed on the label of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda are:

* Add 1/2 teaspoon to 1/2 glass (4 fl. oz.) of water every 2 hours, or as directed by physician. Dissolve completely in water. Accurately measure 1/2 teaspoon.
* Do not take more than the following amounts in 24 hours:
o Seven 1/2 teaspoons
o Three 1/2 teaspoons if you are over 60 years
* Do not use the maximum dosage for more than 2 weeks.

The bicarbonate solution should be taken on an empty stomach, otherwise stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) will react with the bicarbonate to create salt (sodium chloride) and carbonic acid which breaks down into water and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide expands and increases internal stomach pressure that may cause injury if the stomach is overly full from food or drink. As a precaution, consult with a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking a prescription drug, since antacids may interact with certain prescription drugs. It is also advisable to use test strips to monitor the pH of the urine on a regular basis.
