ive found that the atkins diet is actually helping with my gout. i have less pain and swelling now than i did before. And as i understand it gout is not too much protien but how your kidneys process it. meaning that the kidneys are not filtering out the uric acid. I am on medication and the atkins diet is actually helping me. Certain foods can actually trigger a attack but you will need to see what your trigger foods are.
