gout diet

[David Dalton]

What are the foods that are safe for someone with gout to eat?

There is a fair bit of contradictory information on the web.

But I gather that foods that are lower in purines are safer.

However one site I visited said that chickpeas were safe
and another said they were not.

Also one site said that soy beans and soy milk were not
safe but that tofu was. What about vegie burgers made
from soy?

What, do you think? Is this supposed to be a doctors office?

Why do you think that the advice that you might get on these ngs would
be any better than asking people at random on the street?

I developed a custom Google search engine to answer these types of
questions, long ago.

Yes, life is NOT fair and there is NOT a perfect consistency of
opinion on the Web, on any topic. So, you will have to check out more
than one site.

To ask questions, it is time to open up your wallet, and pay a health
care professional of your choice.

Here, again there is no guarantee that people in real life know
anything more than the nut job responses that you are likely to
encounter on these ngs.

The Usenet is not the city dump for John H. Gohde's insanities, isn't
it?

David,
You will find arguments about soy too. Many will say that when
eating soy it should only be fermented soy.

The American Dietetic Association recommends following these guidelines
during a gout attack:

~ Drink 8 to 16 cups (about 2 to 4 liters) of fluid each day, with at
least half being water.

~ Avoid alcohol.

~ Eat a moderate amount of protein, preferably from healthy sources,
such as low-fat or fat-free dairy, tofu, eggs, and nut butters.

~ Limit your daily intake of meat, fish and poultry to 4 to 6 ounces
(113 to 170 grams).

These dietary guidelines may help protect against future gout attacks:

~ Keep your fluid intake high. Aim for 8 to 16 cups (about 2 to 4
liters) of fluid each day, with at least half being water. Limit how
many sweetened beverages you drink, especially those sweetened with high
fructose corn syrup.

~ Limit or avoid alcohol. Talk with your doctor about whether any amount
or type of alcohol is safe for you. Recent evidence suggests that beer
may be particularly likely to increase the risk of gout symptoms,
especially in men.

~ Your daily diet should emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and
fat-free or low-fat milk products.

~ Get your protein from low-fat dairy products. Low-fat dairy products
may actually have a protective effect against gout, so these are your
best-bet protein sources.

~ Limit your intake of meat, fish and poultry. A small amount may be
tolerable, but pay close attention to what types — and how much — seem
to cause problems for you.

~ Maintain a desirable body weight. Choose portions that allow you to
maintain a healthy weight. Losing weight may decrease uric acid levels
in your body. But avoid fasting or rapid weight loss, since doing so may
temporarily raise uric acid levels.

Then how come my link to Gout information on the Mayo Clinic Web site
is better than yours?

Please, for a little moment, think and consider how deeply you insult
cheese.

When I was drinking, I had to be limit my meat intake
very strictly to avoid gout. Since quitting, I haven't
had a gout attack, even after a few occasions when I ate
too much meat that previously would be guaranteed to give
me another attack.

If you drink alcohol every day and you have trouble with
gout, it's the alcohol that's your problem. Quit the
alcohol, and the gout problem will be solved.
