[Sqad]

Does it matter?

My other half suffers from gout he will eat nothing but Warburtons White

[Sqad]

There are no properly conducted reputable clinical trials that show that different types of bread had any effect on gout.
Hence my initial post "Does it matter?"

However, personal experience can be a valuable indicator Sqad.

[Sqad]

Hopkirk..........indeed.

A lot of people are intolerant to wheat/gluten and this causes inflammation in the joints. If a toe joint is inflamed then the best thing to do is avoid all wheat and grains and see if it improves. I did the lemon detox diet- which is harsh but REALLY helped my inflammatory problems within 2 days. You can read about it online. Giving your body a break from solid food for a few days allows it to heal itself much faster than if you keep eating a food that makes the problem worse.
