No offence but I think your doctor is ignorant of the facts. Controlling gout through diet alone will be tough.
I used to suffer from excruciating gout attacks 4 or 5 time a year. Three years ago I started Allopurinol and have never had an attack since. I can eat and drink whatever I like. It is a very clean drug so I have zero side effects. Simply prevents the over production of uric acid.
My doctor says I am simply an over producer of uric acid and it runs in my family. So I took care of it. Now I am fine.
Good luck!
