Thought that your hubby would have been put in touch with a dietician, who should suggest or supply booklets with recipes. If that hasn't been done, suggest that he gets along to the doc/health centre and request an appointment to deal with his diet requirements.

Personally, I don't feel that I have the knowledge to supply recipes for anyone with this condition. However, here's an article you can have a look at

Sure you will find more stuff if you do a search on the internet.

No all he got was a list of foods printed off the NHS website to avoid and a prescription for diclofenac. To be fair he's had several attacks since then so he does need to go back for better advice but as he's bad about making time for that kind of thing in the meantime all I can do is make sure I stick to the dietary advice for him.

Understand totally. Some men can be a real pain in the butt going to the doctor.
Actually, might make him go, if your meals are very repetitive and boring. If that doesn't work, is it possible that you get in touch with the health centre for diet advice/recipes yourself?

Might be worth looking here for relevant recipes

There is pasta with sage, rocket? and feta, spaghetti with walnut sauce, summer veg sauces (leave out the asparagus), basic pasta or gnochi with pesto etc.

One basic we used to make was pasta, drained, and added to a pan of peas, to which was added cottage cheese (or ricotta) and some pesto all heated through but not boiled.

I saw this thread and felt obliged to make my first post.

My DH suffers from attacks of gout and has been extremely ill on occasions. I did a lot of research and many sites giving advice had widely differing lists of food.

However, we have found that milk and vitamin C helped.

In January I was away from home and he had a bad attack. I went on Google and found Cherry Active capsules. I ordered them for him. They were nothing short of miraculous and he now takes them every day and hasn't had an attack since. If he gets the ' tingle ' he takes a double dose.

This is not medical advice, just our experience, and I have no connection with the company.

I hope he feels much better soon.

Those ideas sound great RAS.

In the meantime this is what I have gone for for tonight's tea

I didn't have any sweet potato in so substituted carrots but have everything else. Will report back if it is nice as it might also be quite a good store cupboard recipe for someone if so.

Halloumi cheese can have a high salt content, so just be careful, and watch what you are buying.
