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.

∙ 8y agoGout, a painful form of Arthritis, occurs when high levels of uric acid in the blood cause crystals to form and accumulate around a joint.
Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down a chemical called purine. Purine occurs naturally in your body, but it's also found in certain foods. Uric acid is eliminated from the body in urine. (Medline Plus)
Eating a healthy diet can help with the symptyms of Gout. The Mayo Clinic recommends eating more complex carbs.Complex carbs are found in whole plant foods and are high in vitamins and minerals and easy for your body to process.(Nuitrition MD) Whole grain oatmeal is considered a complex carb; therefore, oatmeal (without all the added sugar) should be good for Gout.

Will oatcakes taste bad if you use regular oatmeal?
If you are referring to using slow-cooking oats instead of instant or quick-cooking oats, I have used slow-cooking oats in recipes many times with no taste difference. I simply let the oats sit for a few minutes after mixing it with whatever liquid the recipe calls for, and this lets the oats soften a little, since it has not been processed as much as quick-cooking oats.
