"Going veggie" really only helps if you're actually substituting vegetables and not just replacing the meat with extra refined carbs.

I'm afraid the advice we've been given so far by docs, and much of what I have found and continue to find on the internet, says wholegrains are not the best thing for gout (though I know they're fab for cholesterol) and include phrases like
"Low Purine Foods – No Restriction Breads and cereals (low-fiber, white flour, or refined grain types)". Oh, and yes, we're substituting vegetables, so there was some hyperbole going on
.
And then there are the diametrically opposed positions which say caffeine
