Gout is a common joint disease in clinic, which is mainly caused by purine metabolism disorder or uric acid excretion reduction. Patients will have a series of clinical symptoms, such as joint swelling and soreness. Besides timely medical intervention, we should also strengthen diet control. The diet of gout patients should strictly control the intake of high purine food, and patients with acute gout should also strictly control the intake of medium purine food:

1, avoid high purine food: The uric acid value of gout patients is often high, and high purine food will produce uric acid, so strict fasting is needed to avoid inducing the second attack of gout. Common animal viscera, seafood, wine, such as pig liver, pig lung, pig heart, sardines, tuna, crabs, lobsters, wine, etc.

2. Control moderate purine foods: asparagus, cereals, oats, pork, beef and other foods contain moderate purine, which may also induce gout, so patients should control the intake of such foods.

Patients with gout can choose alkaline foods such as kelp, potatoes, bamboo shoots, apples and bananas, which are common hypopurine foods. Proper intake not only has the benefit of avoiding gout recurrence, but also can supplement rich nutrition for the body. In addition, although diet control can reduce the recurrence of gout to a certain extent, it can not achieve the therapeutic effect. Patients should also use allopurinol, febuxostat and other drugs to reduce uric acid level under the guidance of doctors.
