Ooppsss... my mistake for not explaining this better in my first post.  For treatment of gout, I have been to multiple physicians and specialist and tried both colchicine and allupurinol.

Allupurinol doesn't work for me.  Once on a 3 months course of allupurinol, with dosage adjustment, I had acute gout attacks and the symptom did not go away through out the whole 3 months.  I was basically in pain and walking using the edge of my feet for the whole period.  Even the doctors were puzzled.  So it was decided that allupurinol doesn't suit me.

Colchicine works, but with side effects.  It causes frequent visit to the loo.  Nevertheless, it works to relieve the symptoms after an attack, albeit slowly. Hence it is only taken when there is noticeable early gout attack symptoms until the the pain stops.

The only thing that consistently works for me and without side effects (so far) is traditional remedy of spices and traditional treatment using beetle leaf (sirih).

Notwithstanding the gout treatment, I was taking glucosamine not for treatment of gout symptom or prevention.  It is for the joint pain i have when I was not under any trace of gout attack.  Granted, I did not refer to physician prior to taking the glucosamine.  So my concern was does the glucosamine trigger my gout attack? Based on the link provided by slimey (thanks), it should not.  But I am afraid to start taking the glucosamine again after this episode of attack.  On the other hand, I like to remain active and keep fit by going to the gym, which subsequently gives me ankle and knee joints pain.

Any idea on how to tackel my dilemma? Thanks.
