    Hi

    Can you tell me where to search for a simple list of food or diets suitable to reduce the awfull effects of gout.

    Is there a method of calculating foods as a number in the hope of quickly working out the value for a meal / menu?

    Thanks

    Gout is simply not that simple.

    You might be able to use gout diet as part of a gout management strategy, but you have to start with assessing uric acid level.

    Your BMI, typical current diet, exercise levels and iron load are also important in dietary terms. Gout history is also crucial (how many attacks, when was the first, how frequent now???)

    Any quick and easy measures are bound to be quick and easy failures, so spend some more time assessing your current status. We need more information here to help you develop a plan.
