I recently had my first bout of gout, in my big toe. Reading the above I guess it was a relatively gentle intro, but it still took me off my feet for 4 days, and limping for a month. Not fun at all.

Avoiding offal, and certain fish was already in place, but legumes and beer are going to be tougher. The info I've seen so far didn't cover nuts (a favourite of mine) is it all nuts, or just particular ones I should avoid?
