RNY and Gout

I have experienced gout flare ups off and on for the past 2 years. On 9/14/15, I had RNY surgery. I have been drinking protein shakes and eating small meals since surgery. Two days ago my gout flared up again. I have been to the doctor and started MORE medications. Does anybody have any idea what protein shakes will assist me in obtaining my protein goals and not increase uric acid? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

I don't know a lot about gout but several relatives have it. I learned from one of them that soy isn't good for gout and can cause flare ups. Of course the other was beer but don't think you are drinking beer. I bet there are other things also but those are only what I know. I tried reading up on it and tart cherry juice was supposed to help but then you are looking at increased sugar. Hopefully others will see this since you posted so long ago and will have a tip or two now.
