Rice won't work if it's white rice (diabetes controlled by diet) and
according to goutpal.com, it's okay to eat vegetables even when
they're high in purines because the human body doesn't metabolize
vegetable purines the same way it metabolizes animal purines. I can
only say he never reacts to the purines in mushrooms or spinach.

Hubby doesn't eat much fruit these days (although he plows through
strawberries) because of his blood sugar issues + he hates cherries
and won't drink cherry juice either.
