Why?
Because such detailed nutritional analysis is beyond the scope of this gout support website.
Before you start looking at individual gout producing foods, you need a good gout management plan, and a thorough understanding of how food affects gout. At the very least, you must read the information on planning an alkalizing gout diet menu. Then if you still want to assess PRAL values of your breakfast menu, or any other food or drink, you can browse my Acid-Alkaline Breakfast Cereals Food Chart.I have retained the former introduction to the breakfast cereals PRAL chart...
Gout Producing Foods
Start the day well - avoid gout producing foods.
That doesn't mean you must starve yourself.
Look for a well balanced breakfast that will set you up for the day.
If you are looking for purine information, please see the Purine Rich Foods Chart, but before consulting that table of food purine content, you should understand How Purines Affect Gout.
Good eating habits start with a good breakfast, and it's important to kickstart your metabolism with a healthy meal. The healthiest breakfast cereals are whole foods, which tend to be acid forming, presumably because of the bran. But you need some acid foods in your diet so the best choice is a wholegrain cereal with fruit for pH balance. Don't forget that the tables list 100 gram portions, and you should eat about one third of that. Most cereals are easily balanced with a glass of fruit juice and a piece of fruit. For the most acid producing cereals, think about mixing the cereal with dried fruit.
As with all meals, your breakfast should avoid gout producing foods such as highly processed foods that contain added fructose, or hydrogenated oils or fats. Please read my explanation of Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) for gout sufferers before you look at detailed food information.
