Gout diet

(1/2) > >>

hedgehog:
This isn’t for me. My friend went to the doctor today and it was confirmed that his foot pain is gout. I often make food for him. This is the hiking friend, so picnic lunches when we hike, dinners with our trivia team, and I usually bring breakfast if I sleep over at their house (which I will do next week). So I am looking for ideas if anyone is familiar with what foods are allowed and what should be limited.

hedgehog:
No help from SOAK? Well, I did figure out a breakfast.  I saw from a few reliable sources that cherries are supposed to be good for gout, so I am making Julia Child's clafouti, and thinking of increasing the cherries in the recipe.

GoingNuts:
I think you’re supposed to avoid meat and shellfish, particularly shrimp?  I think prurines are the culprit?

hedgehog:
Yeah.  And his favorite food is bacon.  In fact, at a brunch buffet over the weekend he indulged in bacon, sausage, shrimp, various other foods, and then had a flare up. 

Macabre:
So I could just post what we eat at home. No meat and especially no shrimp!  Lol.

It’s not hard to avoid meat.
