Do fruits trigger or affect an attack for you guys personally?

Most I see online​​​ are fructose in fruits don't affect gout, but I'm in my first attack and want to be a 100% sure, so looking for personal experience. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pain slightly returning after 2 weeks (was on a week of tapering Prednisone)

I was diagnosed with my first attack about 2 weeks back. Took a tapering Prednisone for 7 days since on advice of urgent care. Pain almost disappeared by the start of this week.

But since yesterday morning, I'm feeling the pain creeping back in. It's only at a 1 or 2 out of 10, but am really scared now. Anyone here have advise? Should I take Ibuprofen OTC?

Urgent care visit costs over $200, but I will hit it again if I must.|

Edit: 31M, no adverse effects to NSAIDs, or any other ongoing medication.
