What foods should you avoid if you have Gout?

Answer 1

Dietary change can make a contribution to lowering the plasma urate level if a diet low in purines is maintained, because the body metabolizes purines into uric acid. Avoiding alcohol, high-purine foods, such as meat, fish, dry beans (also lentils and peas), mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, and cauliflower, as well as consuming purine-neutralizing foods, such as fresh fruits (especially cherries and strawberries) and most fresh vegetables, diluted celery juice, distilled water, and B-complex and C vitamins can help.

A strong natural cure is a berry extract supplement consisting of bilberry, blueberry or cherry extracts. The anthocyanins which give the berries their blue and purple hues, after entering the body, turn into powerful anti-inflammatories. These might be an especially preferable option to transplant patients, who frequently suffer gout due to increased toxicity and strain on the kidneys due to their immunosuppressant medication.

Answer 4

I can tell you from VERY PAINFUL experience that it's trial and error. I don't care what anyone tells you about it. I tried staying away from the foods they warn you against, only to get some of the worst bouts of gout I've ever had! My wife also suffers from it and her and I have completely different diets. So you just have to pay a lot of attention to what you were eating when the attacks happen and adjust your diet accordingly. BUT, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will work. Sorry I can't help you more. I mean I am REALLY SORRY because that disease can be more painful than kidney stones, and I've passed 20+ of those little bastards so I know what I'm talking about. OH, keep a supply of COLCHICINE or ALLOPURINOL nearby, as well as some powerful pains killers, cuz' you're gonna need them. My heart truly goes out to you. P.S. Kidney stones in a man are considered the most excruciating agony a human can suffer, even worse than child labour, and women I know who have had them concur 100%. BUT, BUT, gout makes kidney stones seem like a paper cut in the realm of the world of pain, especially when you suffer it for 3-4 weeks at a time as I have. It is the only bodily pain that has made me pray for death, as I get it from my hip right through my toes on my right side and in my foot on my left side. Just thought I'd give a little insight for the sake of those who think they know something about pain.
