A ham salad sandwich on wheat is a moderate-purine food best limited to occasional small portions.
Good
The whole wheat bread and mayonnaise are low in purines and safe. Lean ham in small amounts can be part of a balanced diet for well-controlled gout.
Bad
Processed ham is moderate in purines and high in sodium, which may raise blood pressure and impair urate excretion. Large portions or pairing with sugary drinks or beer significantly raises flare risk.
