Re: Diet for Gout ?
My mother had it a while back and had to avoid alcohol and shell fish. I don't remember anything else particular (but that doesn't mean there isn't anything else to watch for). Sorry to hear this and hope he's feeling better.

My dad had one last year. Someone told him to eat alot of cherries and to stay away from tomatoes, so he did. He was in alot of pain, it lasted about 3 days. I hope your DH feels better!

Re: Diet for Gout ?
My FIL has a list taped up to the fridge of 'trigger' foods and foods that are good for him. I'll see if he can fax it to me and I'll post it for you.
