My reply to Advoca
Hi! I just joined as a member and read about your gout problem. My hubby is a gout sufferer and he tries to avoid high purine foods as much as possible, however, on the few occasions when the craving got the better of him, I would brew him a tea made up of stinging nettle (Latin name: Urtica Dioica) a couple of times a day to avoid a gout attack. This really helped him a lot.
It may interest you to know that even though mushrooms are not considered high in purine content, they are definitely a no-no for my hubby. For gout sufferers, being overweight, drinking alcohol and consuming high purine foods are risk factors.
Hope I have been of help.
