Good
  • Vegetables are low purine, alkalizing, and rich in vitamin C (helps excrete uric acid); whole wheat provides fiber (may help lower uric acid indirectly via improved insulin sensitivity); avocado offers healthy fats and low purines; lettuce, cucumber, tomato, bell peppers are all excellent low-purine choices.
Bad
  • Bread contains some purines but usually not in gout-troubling amounts unless many slices are eaten; be mindful of high-fructose corn syrup in bread or condiments; avoid processed meats (high-purine) on the sandwich; some may react to gluten or large amounts of bread which can contribute to metabolic syndrome risk factors. A standard veggie sandwich (2 slices whole wheat + assorted vegetables) is fine for most people with gout.
