Gout Causing Foods To Be Avoided

By:


Gout causing foods are a definite "no-no" if you suffer from gout. You must avoid these foods at all costs. So what are these gout causing foods and how do they cause gout?

Gout is actually caused by too much uric acid in your bloodstream. The uric acid then deposits in your joints in the form of crystals. These crystals cause acute pain and the inflammation and swelling we associate with gout.

So where does uric acid come from? It's formed from 'purines' which exist naturally in our body cells and in some of our foods. Just one of the important tasks they perform is to convert food into energy, so they are vital to us.

Our kidneys control the uric acid levels in our blood. But sometimes they aren't efficient enough to deal with the amount of uric acid, so that we end up with 'excess' uric acid which can cause gout.

As purines are at the very heart of this process, a gout sufferer has to avoid gout causing foods, i.e. foods high in purines.

The following foods are typical 'gout causing foods' and you must avoid them at all costs...

Anchovies, bouillon, brains, broth, consomme, dried legumes, fish, goose, gravy, heart, herring, kidneys, liver, mackerel, red meat, meat extracts, mincemeat, mussels, partridge, poultry (especially turkey), roe, sardines, scallops, shellfish, shrimps, sweetbreads, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast, yeast extracts. And you must avoid all alcohol.

But you need to take care as there's even more things to consider such as your lifestyle, weight, general health, and many other factors in a proper gout treatment program. So although cutting out gout causing foods is important it's only part of the solution.
