Cornmeal mush is a very low-purine grain food that is safe for gout in normal portions.
Good
Provides a low-purine carbohydrate base that doesn't raise uric acid. Plain preparation supports weight management and pairs well with vegetables or low-fat dairy.
Bad
Large portions may contribute to excess calories, and adding high-purine or high-fat toppings like bacon or cheese can undermine its safety for gout.
