Gout is a kind of arthritis that occurs when sharp crystal shards of uric acid collect between the joints causing painful inflammation. Uric acid is usually a neutral, but unnecessary, chemical that the kidneys filter out of the blood through the urine. People with gout typically get it because either their body produces too much uric acid or because their body does not do a good job eliminating it.
While uric acid exists naturally in the body, amounts of it in the body can be increased by certain foods that contain a lot of a particular chemical called purine. The kidneys normally break down purines into uric acid and then eliminate it from the body. People with gout or at risk of acquiring gout are encouraged to avoid foods high in purines. If you have gout or are at risk for gout, you should see a medical professional for advice. Still, some general points can be made about the foods that cause gout.
In general, foods that are high in fat and/or cholesterol are also high in purines. As a result, a gout diet is one that is low-fat and low-cholesterol. Specifically, it's been suggested that less than 30% of one's daily Calories should come from fat. Proteins can also have large concentrations of purines. Generally, red meat and fish, like mackerel, sardines, oysters, mussels, and scallops, should be reduced, if not avoided altogether, as they can be foods that cause gout. Large amounts of high protein, fatty white meats, like poultry and pork, can aggravate gout as well. Sweetbreads (organ meats) like kidney, heart, or liver, are especially bad for those suffering from gout. Even foods related to meat, like chicken or beef broth, caviar, and bouillon might produce high levels of uric acid.
Dairy products and vegetables can also be high in purines. High-fat dairy, like whole milk, ice cream, butter, and cheese have been said to possibly cause gout and are recommended to be replaced with low-fat or non-fat dairy, or soy alternatives. Spinach, mushrooms, cauliflower, peas, and asparagus have been shown to be rich in purines and therefore can be foods that cause gout. In an unrelated food category, lentil beans and yeast increase the chances for a gout flare up. For this reason, beer, because it's derived from yeast and grains, can increase the level of uric acid in the body. Some health professionals recommend that alcohol be avoided altogether.
Ingesting purines is not the only way to build up an unusually high concentration of uric acid, called hyperuricemia. Poor kidney function, since the kidneys filter out uric acid, works in conjunction with foods that cause gout. Thus, drinking plenty of water and eating tofu, olive oil, and nuts, actually seems to counteract weakened kidneys to eliminate uric acid from the bloodstream. A diet rich in complex carbohydrates, in the form of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains like bread and pasta, may ease the symptoms of gout. A doctor might combine these diet restrictions with anti-inflammatory medication and an overall weight loss plan.
