If possible, what are other food suggestions for gout?
Thanks.
Is it also true that uncooked oatmeal is suggested? If so, can you provide me with recipes or websites that have them.
Thanks again.

In the articles I read vegetables were recommended so I'd post this question in the Medical & Diseases area. Best to talk to a nutritionist rather than pay attention to us knuckleheads. I'm just saying, the answers area could tell you so many different things you might end up with nothing left that's safe to eat. My friend has gout flair ups from time to time. I never noticed him paying much attention to his diet. Then again, I guess maybe that's why he had flair ups. :-)
Here are the top 5 principles of the gout diet, which is also known as the low purine diet;
1. Avoid high-purine foods such as anchovies, brains, bouillon, broth, beef kidneys, consommé, dried legumes, game meats, gravy, goose, herring, liver, meat extracts, sardines, sweetbreads, mackerel, scallops, heart, herring, mussels, partridge, roe, scallops, shrimp, yeast and yeast extracts while on the gout diet.
2. Avoid alcohol including beer on the gout diet. Try to limit, in the very least, your alcohol consumption to three servings per week.
3. Limit the consumption of animal protein. Substitute vegetable proteins such as tofu as well as dairy proteins products while on the gout diet. You may enjoy 4 to 6 ounces of meat, fish and poultry per day.
4. Dilute high urinary uric acid by drinking plenty of water on the gout diet. Try to drink 1 to 2 gallons of water per day. Increase the amount of water you consume if you are exercising or live in a warm climate.
5. Avoid fat as part of the gout diet. Prepare foods with cooking sprays instead of deep-frying foods. Select leaner meats and lower fat dairy products.
Also, the gout diet recommends avoiding acidic foods and beverages such as tea and coffee because it may trigger an attack of gout. While the purine content of food is a key factor, it is not the sole contributing cause to gout. Other factors may influence uric acid metabolism and affect the kidneys ability to excrete uric acid.
As part of a sensible diet to reduce the symptoms of gout, the following food items are on the approved food list for the gout diet: white rice, white bread and crackers, vegetables, carbonated beverages, corn and cornbread, fruit juices and fruits, noodles, nuts, milk, ice cream, cheese, cereals, butter, cocoa, milk and tapioca.
