Gout is not off topic in a food group because food triggers it and it
can be controlled by not eating certain things. Unfortunately,
everyone has their own personal triggers and if you're going to
control your gout by your diet - you need to figure out what they are.
My husband figured out that shellfish triggered his gout and he has
also cut way back on red meat, which was a contributing factor. So
between not eating one and limiting the other, he hasn't had an attack
in years. Other people just take a pill and eat whatever they want.
