kw's answer seems to come close to the proper treatment, but it still misses the mark.

Yes, it is a pH issue - over acidity. But ACV and baking soda won't fix it. I read further down where someone else recommended potassium. These remedies are supported by the medical profession but they aren't correct.

The reason the medical profession supports such treatments is that their effectiveness is hit-or-miss and if it works some of the time, then it's okay to use every time.

The problem is, the medical profession doesn't promote water because it isn't profitable to do so - and they demonize salt. Both of these nutrients are what you need to treat gout. The only reason potassium has any kind of effect is that both potassium and salt are needed to regulate the water volume of the cells. Potassium works from inside the cell while salt works from outside the cell. Both depend on each other to function properly.

So when doctors demonize salt, they promote potassium, knowing that extra potassium will force the salt to function in spite of there being a shortage. But like other "remedies" this only works part of the time.

In order of importance to sustain life, the nutrients needed are oxygen, water, salt, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium (the rest of the vitamins and minerals are in no specific order). There is no substitute for water, and when you avoid it for other beverages - and follow the medical recommendations to avoid salt, removing these two vital nutrients will inevitably cause health problems.

I recently read an article that said vitamin C will help.
