Gout - what are good and bad foods for gout diet? Posted: 10-16-07 22:57pm
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?

acute gout attacks. Both Ibuprofen and
Naproxen can be purchased without
prescription.

Good Or Bad Foods For Gout Posted: 10-22-07 11:10am
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.
