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.

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.
