Gout Diet Plan?

What is a good diet for someone to follow who has recently acquired gout?

Purine is the food element to avoid. If you're squeemish, I'm posting the dietary suggestions here, as there are some amazingly disturbing pictures on the link from which this came:

Diet sheet

Forbidden
Very high purine content.
Herring, herring roe, meat extracts, mussels,
Sardines, yeast (brewer鈥檚 and baker鈥檚).
Alcohol : Alcohol contains no purine but interferes with uric acid excretion.
Liver

Avoid
High purine content - not more than one item once a week.
Anchovies, bacon, chicken soup, Beef, mutton leg, mutton chop, pheasant, salmon, sausage, trout, turkey, veal, venison, lobster, crab.

Moderation
Moderate purine content-not more than one item 4 times a week.
Asparagus, bass, bouillon, brains, cauliflower, chicken, duck, halibut, ham, kidney beans, lentils, Lima beans, liverwurst, mushrooms, oysters, peas, plaice, pork, rabbit, roe, shad, spinach, tongue, tripe, tuna, wholegrain cereals and bread.

Acceptable
Low or no purine content - as often as desired.
Beverages -tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate
Carbonated soft drinks
Fruit juices
Sugar, sweets
Vegetables : (except those under BE CAREFUL)
Vegetables and cream soups (no meat stock)
Butter, fats of all kinds (in moderation)
Bread (except wholegrain)
Cereals (except wholegrain)
Cheese : all kinds (in moderation)
Eggs
Fruit
Milk - buttermilk, condensed, malted
Nuts - all kinds, peanut butter

Drink plenty of water (2-3 litres per day) to help flush uric acid through the kidneys. Please note - if you have cardiac or kidney disease, your doctor may actually require fluid restriction - and you should consult him regarding fluid intake allowance.
Keep dietary fat to a minimum.

Be careful not to damage the joint.

Take your prescribed medication regularly.

Hope this helps.

here's a list of the purine content in food:
