Skeptical.: Your ua level is elevated, but your symptoms are not entirely suggestive of gout. Anyway, it is reasonable to pursue a gout diet. Avoid: red meat and seafood beer and hard liquor foods / drinks with high-fructose corn syrup instead eat: low-fat dairy products, whole grains and vegetables.
