At this time, stay away from beans because they will aggregate gout(as well as meat). All vegetables are good but I would limit the night shade family.. Eat lots of kale, squashes, daikon( excellent to eliminate Uric acid crystals).Get your protein right now from sprouts, seeds and nuts...Best to you....Also, for the holidays, get tofurkey...taste just like turkey..

I'm still trying to learn and get completely off meats. Any suggestions
for alternatives to ham and turkey? Also, I've been diagnosed with
gout. If you know of any veggies which would be good to combat it,
please feel free to email me. Thanks!
