Needles, my hubby had some terrible gout issues about 10 years ago but has gone keto/high meat including preserved meats like Spam with no flare ups. He does take his allopurinol (prescription) specifically for gout, but it is the last of the many prescription medicines he was on. To clarify, he was not actively having flare-ups when he went keto, but was already on allopurinol and remains on it and has not had any flares in the last two years that he has been keto.

Anniedeb, a lot of people are anti-spam, bologna or hot dogs because of such past history. Growing up poor but resource-full in Alaska I ate salmon at least 5 days a week for years. And rhubarb, it grows surprisingly well. I can do many things with both foods, but it took me at least 10 years after leaving Alaska before I was willing to eat salmon, and 20 or so years before I actually chose it over any other option!
