Gout diet, should these fruits be avoided?

Question:

I know most of the recommended diet for Gout as my husband has suffered from Gout pretty bad the past few years. I am trying to find out if he should avoid grapefruit, mandarin orange and lemon juices? I know the more water he drinks the better and he is using black cherry juice.

Answers:
Found some stuff which might be of use to you, especially the table of food high & low in purine level.

Orange is a low purine food, so he needn't avoid that.
