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
