can almonds cause gout?
Almonds are better than shellfish for gout! Protein intake during an attack is bound to have an effect though whether it would start or stop one is a moot point. I eat a lot of nuts and haven't found them to be a twinge/attack trigger. Almonds do have iron in them though and this could have an effect on gout. One recipe that duplicates meat protein ( apparently) is Brown rice with almonds and sweetcorn and dropping the almonds in late does something to the absorption rate if the iron.
