When I have a gout attack, I eat nothing with a heartbeat, except dairy for five days. No red meat, no fish, no chicken, etc. Dairy is fine but no flesh from anything with a heartbeat….

Hesitant to start allopurinol

I am considering starting allopurinol but scared to death of stevens-johnsons syndrome. I can usually knock an attack out with one dose of med and be almost better the next day but i miss so much food i would like to eat and i miss not eating anything i want for a few days after attack. wondering how folks can take allopurinol when the side effect can be so deadly and gruesome. thanks much. ps also any tips on starting the med if i decide to?
