I think it is protein that you should avoid as much as possible. Just check the label on anything you eat from now on.

Gout is due to a build up of uric acid in the blood. It makes crystals that collect in the joints, especially the big toe joint. Ouch. Drink lots and lots of water. I don't think oatmeal will hurt you, but a variety of foods would be better than eating only one type of food. Drink lots of water to dilute the uric acid.
