Yes, oatmeal contains soluble fiber. Oatmeal can help you to filter and eliminate the build up of uric acid in your body.
Here are some food god or bad for gout:
1. Avoid consuming coffee and tea is not a problem but alcohol can raise uric acid levels and provoke an episode of gout.
2. Avoid high in purines and high in protein have long been suspected of causing an increased risk of gout (a type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the body which form crystals in the joints, resulting in pain and inflammation). Food contain high levels of both protein and purine are beef, pork, chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon, cream, eggs and beans.
3. Eliminate drinking too much alcohol. Drinking alcohol may trigger a rise in the level of uric acid in the body, these habits may not by themselves cause gout.
4. Limit consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks, which have been linked to an increased risk of gout.
5. Eat more vegetables and fiber, they are good for you. How many times have we all heard that as children, well Gout is one of the few diseases where some vegetables could actually be causing you pain. You should start cutting down on your intake of corn, peas and potatoes as soon as possible.
6. Drink 2 to 3 L of fluid daily. Adequate fluid intake helps dilute urinary uric acid.

Oats will not reverse goat, but are fine to eat if you have gout. Whole grains in general are good. Gout is typically due to poor lifestyle habits in Chinese medicine such as fatty foods and consumption of alcohol. Adopting a whole foods diet is always a good idea, but there are also herbs that that help to rid the body of accumulated uric crystals that accumulate in joints. Gout responds very well to herbal therapy and usually pretty quickly. Here are some herbs that assist in the elimination of uric acid throughout the body:
