    We do need to come up with some healthy new recipes, so thank you for the help! But it would be hard to answer your question, as we don’t really go by any recipes currently. We just buy what’s on sale and my Wife wips it into something. Or we eat out. I’ll put what I can below though and maybe you can work with it, or if not, maybe you can just give me some recipes you like.

    Generally, our diet consists of:

    Meats- Chicken, pork tenderloin, porkchops, ribs, tilapia, steak, or ham. We also eat a lot eggs.

    Veggies- Zucchini (grilled), squash (in a cheesy casserole), greenbeans (both boiled and in “green bean casserole”), onions, peas, carrots, spinach salad.

    Carbs- My wife is doing a low carb diet at the moment, but I sometimes eat rice, potatoes, and pasta (though I’m cutting back on these).

    Fruits- Oranges, apples, bananas, melons, grapes. And tomatoes.

    Misc.- We love cheese. Also alfredo, marinara, pico-de-gallo, garlic, rosemarry, basil, curry, ect.

    *My wife’s favorite foods are all Italian or Mexican. I like “Meat and three” type meals and Chinese the best. I’d like to find more vegetable centric recipes, especially stir-fries.

    Correction, levels were 9.8 last December, 9.1 now. Kidneys and liver are good; picking up prescription this afternoon.

    I went to a different doctor this morning and requested to be put on a gout medication.

    They decided to run a full blood-work to check my kidneys and liver; I should have the results this afternoon. They said that if everything looks good, then they will start me on 50 something of Allopurinol. I asked what my Uric acid levels were earlier this year when I was diagnosed, and they said 9mg. I’ll find out what they are now when the blood-work comes back.

    Thanks for the advice. Makes sense to me. I will look into the mentioned diets. I suppose I should try to get my doctor to prescribe something, but I’m doubtful now if she would know the right thing to prescribe…

    My goals though are:
    1.) Get rid of the 2-3 gout attacks I have each year.
    2.) Avoid foods that might make my Gout worse.
    3.) Loose about 40 pounds.
    4.) Not live on a boring diet like I’m currently doing.
