Anyone have any good gout-friendly meals you use that are tasty for a “steak and potatoes” kind of man?? Any ideas would be helpful.

For me, it’s steak and potatoes with a daily Allopurinol. Since I started on that several years ago, I can eat and drink what I want.
That being said, I know there are gout friendly meals out there but everyone usually has some different triggers.

Portabella mushrooms with steak seasoning on it. Boil cauliflower and put in mixer like mashed potatoes.
It ain’t steak and taters but it won’t cripple you to your knees eitherComment

Look at your meds as well. I had gout and it was another medication causing it. Killed that med and killed the gout. I will not even go back on that class of medication.Comment

If he is on any cholesterol meds.......they caused gout in me due to muscle damage. Got off them and fixed.Originally posted by JewellHuntress View PostComment

I'd say in a flare up, you would probably want to avoid the red meat, shrimp, red wine, beer, alcohol stuff. I've heard people drink cherry juice or take a cherry supplement and that helps them. It never worked for me. I had to get Indomethicin to get the flares to go down and then daily Allopurinol. Once the flare was gone and I was back to normal and consistently taking the meds, I haven't had a flare up at all and I really like steak and red meat and beer.Originally posted by JewellHuntress View Post
It's been about 2 years since I have had any issues. Thank goodness. I used to get flare ups in my ankles and knees and it was crippling..

You have to figure out what your trigger food is. For me it was shrimp and crabs. However I can attribute my first two attacks to grazon herbicides. The next day after using them I had attacks. Later I found slight foot injuries would trigger an attack and the last one didnt go away with the steroid shot and pills. So I just started Allopurinol myself. I had some shrimp and crap and it didnt effect me.Comment

I've had some success with drinking lots of water to keep my body in good shape, pH level speaking. Try to keep from drinking too many cokes. Also, a daily dose of apple cider vinegar has helped a lot. When I get a flare-up, I start taking several tablespoons of ACV a day and it usually goes away pretty fast. You have to get the stuff with the "mother", i.e. the cloudy stuff at the bottom of the bottle. Shake it up good, put a tablespoon in with a glass of water and drink it down. Do that every morning, and drink enough water, and he shouldn't have to worry too much about what he's eating.
Look up purine-rich foods, and try to limit them. It's worked pretty well for me.Comment

I take wild cherry extract capsules 2 per day and have no issues with flair ups but if you miss a few days look out. Lots of water also helps.Comment
