Product Description
The perfect addition to the Gout Hater's Collection, designed specifically for persons suffering from gout. This new book complies with the modified purine diet in its predecessor, Gout Hater's Cookbook. It also meets the requirements of the restricted purine diet. The recipes you will find in Book II feature a more detailed, albeit restriced, food list, for a delicious ovo-lacto- (eggs and milk allowed) vegetarian diet. Gout Hater's Cookbook II was put together in an effort to demonstrate just how delectably well you can eat, even on a restricted purine diet, while continually helping to lower your uric acid levels. Over 100 recipes, 112 pages, features comprehensive food lists of foods allowed and not allowed. Sections include Questions and Answers, Helpful Hints, Breakfast, Appetizers, Beverages, Main Dishes, Sides, Sauces, Desserts, Metric Conversion Chart and a lengthy bibliography. |

Take your allopurinal by Charles W. Smoyer (St Augstine, FL)  3 Stars
January 09, 2009
Not a bad book, the diet written in any form is no fun. I would use it if I didn't have a medical intervention. It is well written, but bland food is bland food. No one can be unhappy with pizza in their mouth.

Not sure how up to date this book is by Matthew N. Testa (Los Angeles)  2 Stars
November 05, 2008
As someone recently diagnosed with gout, I am amazed by how much contradictory information there is out there about this disease and how to eat properly to manage its symptoms.
Some doctors and books (this one included) advise to cut out vegetables like lentils, spinach, artichokes, avocados and legumes because they contain high amounts of purines. But an important Harvard study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that purines in vegetables do NOT contribute to gout.
Many self-proclaimed gout experts don't seem to be aware of this groundbreaking study. They tell gout sufferers to cut out high purine vegetables under the assumption that any food containing high purine levels MUST by definition be bad for gout. But it seems that vegetable purines may have less effect on uric acid levels than, say, meat and yeast purines.
Obviously, this is crucial information for gout sufferers. It could mean that a whole world of vegetables, eaten in moderation, might not be bad for you after all. The authors of this book seem to be in the dark about this. I recommend that everyone suffering from gout do all the research they can and get a variety of opinions before cutting out foods that may have health benefits.

Gout Hater's Cookbook II by Michael Avin (USA)  1 Stars
October 19, 2008
After reviewing a couple recipes, I found that those are NOT for the people who suffer the gout problem but quite an opposite. Some food ingredients contain extremely high dosage of uric acid. I could not understand how publisher of this title did not review the food and recipes with medical professionals. I am extremely dissatisfy with the book and would like to return.

Good li'l tome to have on the shelf to answer questions about diet by Janet P. Reagan (Elizabethton, TN (displaced Tar Heel))  4 Stars
July 14, 2008
It turns out I do NOT have gout, but this compendium of recipes that enables one to live with the disease would be essential in anyone's collection of cook books.
