Congee

Safe
Food

Congee is a low-purine rice porridge, and eggs are also very low in purines. When eaten together, congee with egg is generally safe for people with gout. It's gentle on digestion and can be part of a balanced, low-purine diet. Be cautious with additions like high-purine meats, seafood, or bone broth that could raise the purine load.

Good for you

Low purine content, easy to digest, hydrating, neutral effect on uric acid levels

Bad for you

None inherent; however, if made with high-purine broth or topped with meat/seafood/liver, the meal could be less gout-friendly. Also, congee made from refined white rice has less fiber and micronutrients than whole grains, but this is a minor concern compared to purine load.
