Diet and lifestyle are pretty much the biggest factors in dealing with gout. Any doctor will tell you that you need to decrease uric acid levels and diet and reducing obesity are the easiest ways to do that. Drugs help to deal with acute attacks and further reduce the amount of serum uric acid levels, but they aren't going to be some magical pill that means you don't have to treat your body well.
This is like saying "I was in pain all the time from smashing my head against the wall and taking so much codiene and ibuprofen and the side effects were terrible and then I read an article that said 'stop smashing your head against the wall' and I discovered I was cured from this small lifestyle change!"

It's like you did not read a single word he wrote.
And no the Doctor will not automatically tell you all about changing your diet, 9 times out of 10 they will write up a script and send you on your way. And when you don't get better, you will get another prescription.
