Why?
Because such detailed nutritional analysis is beyond the scope of this gout support website.
Before you start looking at individual food to avoid that causes gout you need a good gout management plan, and a thorough understanding of how food affects gout.

Most of the cereals, grains, and pasta listed here are in the slightly acid category. Of the ones that I've classed "very acid", most are for raw food states, and the values fall when cooked. This is due to water absorbed in cooking - another reminder that, when you use these tables, you need to try to measure what is on your plate, not what comes out of the cupboard. Actually, that should read what goes in your mouth - you might be really good and leave your meal as soon as you feel satisfied.
Candidates here for food to avoid that causes gout include enriched flour and pasta. These can make food very acid forming, though, as usual, balancing this effect with fruit, vegetables or other alkaline foods makes them OK.
