Q: Gout - what are good and bad foods for gout diet?

Hi, I am so lost... I have been lookign for a good and bad list of foods for gout.. even on THIS message board the stories conflict.. eat seeds, dont eat seeds,, blarbedy blarbedy blar.. Does anyone REALLY know where a good list of foods is? I cannot find any nutrition link on this site.. which is where it says there is a "diet"? Also, there has to be a way to get meds for gout without having to go ot the doctor every time.. some people cant afford this. cherry juice is laughable... alfalfa pills HAHA.. So my question is.. what IS the REAL list of good and bad foods? some sites say to eat fish and some say not to.. I just dont get it.. nothing coincides. My husbnad was taking some pills that the doctor gave him with his first ever gout attack, then when he went to the doctor the next time for gout, they said OH NO YOU CANT TAKE THAT.. it ruins your stomach.. there have been lawsuits etc.. so.. now he wont take anything the doctor gives cuz they are stupid and none of them say the same thing twice. I have been witness to this personally.. I cant believe the conflicting stories he gets. and no way can I trust something online,. its usually just peiople trying to sell their stuff. So what have you found to be true and un true? Like I said I saw the sticky for the new gout diet forum.. but cannot find it. so will someone plesae give me a heads up on these topics?

American Academy of Family Physicians recommends the following for treating acute gout attacks. Both Ibuprofen and Naproxen can be purchased without prescription.
Indomethacin (Rx) 25~50 mg 4 times a day
Ibuprofen (OTC) 800 mg 4 times a day
Naproxen (OTC) 500 mg 2 times a day

Diet and other gout info can be found at ICuredMyGout.org .

Good Or Bad Foods For Gout
Hi goutwife, I am also a wife with a husband that suffers from gout. I have been searching for the last 5 years trying to find out what works. Like you, I am frustrated because there is not one single place that you can go to get the right answers for foods to eat and not to eat. To conflicting.
Because gout is kind of like arthritis I took what I know about arthritis as well as gout and have created a diet for my husband.
So far I have found that if you remove anything that contains wheat or yeast it helps. Fruits and juices are good, yogurt, salads (without tomatos), lowfat milk, cheese. If you are going to eat nut's, make sure they are not dry roasted or salted. I find that pecans are the best. I hope this helps.
