*shrug* Obviously I'm not a doctor, but the
Mayo Clinic says whole grains are good. Several other pages I skimmed noted whole grains not as being specifically high- or low-purine, but as being a part of an overall weight-loss plan, a healthy weight being the most effective way to improve gout symptoms. But hey, IMHO vegetables are a better choice than most any kind of grain, whole or not.
