Your feedback

Polenta is a very low-purine grain that does not raise uric acid levels and is gout-safe.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Its low purine content makes it a safe carbohydrate source. Prepared simply with water or low-fat milk, it supports gout management without triggering flares.
Bad
  • Large portions can contribute to weight gain due to its moderate glycemic index, which indirectly worsens gout. Avoid heavy additions like butter, cheese, or bacon.
