Wat food to eat when you have gout?

Diet not important: Diet has little effect no matter what others may say. If you control your uric acid level with Allopurinol then the risk of gout is minimal. Watch alcohol intake.

Eat for Gout: Your doctor should be able to give you the diet do's and dont's of gout. Must control uric acid to prevent further attacks with something like allopurinol.

Diet and gout: Tart cherry juice is effective; avoid organ meats; fatty meats and alcohol will aggravate gout. Avoid these. Also, drink at least 3 liters fluid per day - this may enhance uric acid excretion - and if you incline your diet successfully to mostly whole grain, fruit, and veggies, using egg white for protein, then your uric acid levels will come down.
