In my own experience I only get gout when eating some butter for a couple of days. I've experimented like 10x and It's always a few days after butter.
Ice cream is fine. Coconut oil is fine. Olive oil is fine. But butter is NOT.
Then somebody posted some study which could maybe explain some mechanism behind it which made sense to me:
"ADEQUATE EVIDENCE is available to indicate a relationship between uric acid and lipid metabolism. Previous studies, however, have been confined to correlations between uricemia and the blood cholesterol in patients with gout or chronic hypercholesterolemia, or in other conditions where there may be an acute hyperlipidemia such as in diabetic acidosis. Preliminary findings suggesting a more precise association between the uric-acid levels and the blood triglycerides rather than the cholesterol, prompted us to investigate this more closely."
I am not sure what "lipid metabolism" is and if we should improve it but It could point to a right direction.
Increasing triglycerides/cholesterol could exacerbate gout.
