Any prevention methods?

My doctor has an excellent diet to help control Gout. He didn't give it to me because he said I would't follow it anyway!

I do have a good diet generally, and no alcohol which seems to be a culprit?

Along with getting my uric acid under control and staying away from pork and staying on my medications, topical Diclofenic has helped a bunch for the pain put on topically am and pm.

See if you doctor will write you a script for allopurinol 300mg once a day. That's what I take, and haven't had an attack in 15+ years. I'm on no special diet.

Proper treatment includes diet + medication.
Here's a link to diet information from Mayo Clinic:

Speak to your doctor about medication(s).
Note that the medication used to treat acute attacks is different than the medication used to prevent attacks.
