But if you subscribe to the adage of "better living thru chemistry", 300mg/day of allopurinol is the bees knees. It is a prescription but it is dirt cheap and I haven't had a twinge in years.

I second this. I have had attacks for twenty years, mostly in my left foot/ankle and my right knee. Only 1 in my big toe.
Once I started Allopurinol, went from two attacks a year, to maybe 1 every 18 months. Currently on a 22 month streak...
Stress is my trigger. Only food that I ave been able to tie to attacks is peanut butter. Too many PB&J's and I start to feel "the twinge".
