Food inquiry
My doctor told me that peanuts and cashews fall into the category oflegumes and are therefore gout triggers. Any comments? Also, isthere a list of “High In Purine Foods”?

Hi..I can’t remember if they are so called “triggers” or not..mymind has wrestled ENOUGH with the trigger aspect(and MAY be a bitgouty).Someone out here will probablly know..and be happy to helpout.. Yes there is a list(s)..I’m pretty sure that there is one outhere..again..someone out here will know..and will be happy to know.
One thing I did notice about those lists..is that they tend tochange..and then more “new” lists come along..next thing youknow..you have a WHOLE bunch of contradictory lists..one says NEVERto eat this and another says to ONLY EAT THIS.
I personally think it is time both that there was a COMPOSITElist..both anecdotally and otherwise of things that pretty much DON’Tcause attacks..
I can start a bit here..perhaps others can help out and add to it.
Water is GREAT!
The following HAVE been named as triggers.Alcholicproducts,meat,a LOT of fish,caffeine,chocolate,the pea/beanfamily,potatoes,any of the nightshade family,anything with yeast init,oats,eggs,tomatoes,dairy products(except butter/cream..I don’tthink I have seen them named),sugar,pretty much anythingrefined,salt,spices/spicy foods,BROCOLI!..is the “new” REAL BADBOY!..other leafy vegetables,frying oil,
I don’t believe that I have seenlettuce,rhubarb,carrots,turnips,squash,corn,cucumbers,oranges,bananas,pears,cherries,blueberries,apples,pineapples,strawberries,figs,dates,raisins,watermelon,melon,cantaloupe,grapefruits,beets,OR VODKA??(I’mnot kidding..I haven’t heard of it as being a “trigger”.
Anyone else please feel free to add to the trgger list..EVEN someof the things that I have not heard as triggers..please let’s notturn this argumentative..try not to take stuff OFF the trigger list..
I’m sure I have missed a lot of stuff..
