Is oatmeal high in uric

Answer 1

Oatmeal is high in protein which breaks down into purines - which causes the gout attack. However, oatmeal is also high in fiber which helps speed your body in processing food. So, in short, these two elements counter each other. I've suffered from gout almost 20 years and I eat oatmeal several times per week and have may be one attack a year. I also take a natural supplement and avoid the other high purine foods.
