Wheat products make up a huge portion of the food we Americans eat every day. We all know sugar is bad for us, but few really think about wheat. I’m focusing on wheat today, but a lot of this applies to all grains that contain gluten.
Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004
Good sharing. I read articles title “To Those Having Gout Problem” mentioned that a special gout remedy call gout papaya green tea extract extremely good to help cure gout issue. See the article at:

Foods good for gout, you are not far away with vegetables but actually fruit and vegetables but not all.
Best seem to be berries (blueberry, starwberry, blackberry, etc), Cherrys are excellent at lowering uric acid levers and also have anti-inflammetery properties but got to be careful too many to often give my stomach ache. Bananas and citrus fruits are good to include (vitamin c helps).
Most veg is good but some are actually high in purines but need avoiding during an attack, the bad ones are peas, beans and caulifower.
Fish can be very bad especially shellfish or oily fish such as Sardines, mackerel, herring, etc. These need avoiding all the time.
Other fish i do eat occasionally are salmon & haddock but not during an attack.
As for meat the likes of chicken, ham, beef are ok in moderation but to be avoided at all cost are organ meats such as liver and kidneys, they def start an attack.
Not that i eat any but game birds such as pheasant and geese are supposed to be bad.
I have learned this week that dairy produce can be good but its advisable to go for the low fat versions. This is new to me, been avoiding during a attack in the past.
Mick, gout sounds like it's very difficult to live with. Maybe it should just be vegetables for you, eh? What are good foods for gout?
Here what you are saying but from my own experience people with gout two of the worst triggers are Bacon and Fish because they are high in purines.
In fact bacon also as a secondary problem, high sodium content goes towards dehydration another trigger.
