Does anyone here have gout?
I have to cook for a person with gout. And his favorite foods are the worst
ones for it. Asparagus, red meat and seafood. And I was unwittingly
serving the wrong things. Chicken with mushroom sauce. The chicken may
have been okay but apparently mushrooms are not. And I've been making a lot
of dried beans because they're cheap. Oops!
I know that most fruit and vegetables are good. Spinach is not. I know
that whole grains are good and that tofu might be okay. Eggs might be okay.
But some people react to them.
I am just kind of stumped when it comes to protein. I've been serving
chicken and turkey but I'm sure that will get old. I have seen mixed things
about cheese. Does cheese bother you?
What can I fix? Luckily this person isn't a picky eater. Just prefers the
foods that are the worst for gout. Exception being fruit. He is a big
fruit eater. Guess I need to buy more.
