Gout – metabolic arthritis – high levels of uric acid

14 September 2007 6 Comments

My husband was recently diagnosed with GOUT (metabolic arthritis). It is a diseased caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood stream. Crystals are formed and deposit themselves in the cartilage joints, tendons and involving tissue. This causes inflammatory reaction, pain and some of the crystals can even come out through the skin.Here is the diet prescribed to my husband and that should be followed by all Gout patients:

You can eat:

Cow, chicken, lamb, duck
Green vegetables, carrots and tomatoes
Apples, pears, bananas, oranges, peaches, melon, watermelon, figs
Raise, pasta, bread, potato, eggs, olive, fresh cheese, yogurts
Water, fresh tea, low fat milk, sodas, white wine

You should avoid:

Pork, hare, partridge, heifer, ham, pig
Liver, pate (made from liver), or sweetbreads (thymus)
Seafood
Alcoholic beverages, particularly beer
Bacon
Pineapple, cherries, lemon

Keep your weight under control and exercise.
