Rheumatic conditions are not pleasant and one that can be very painful is gout. This is a condition that occurs when there is too much uric acid in the body. Uric acid is created when there are too many purines in the body. Purines are found in the tissue of the human body and also within certain foods. Whilst there is little that can be done to reduce purines in tissue, if you know the foods to avoid for gout you can reduce attacks.

When gout occurs in tends to start in the big toe. It then goes onto affect other joints which include the elbows, knees, ankles and so on. This gout inducing uric acid can be built up in two ways. One way involves eating foods which contain too many purines. The other is when a person’s body can’t get rid of the excess purines it creates.

A lot of the pain attributed to gout is down to crystals of uric acid which form in the joints. In the joints of the body there is fluid and this helps to keep the joint moving smoothly. Uric acid crystals in this fluid cause a lot of pain and swelling leaving a person barely able to move. So it is good to know which foods cause this so they can be avoided.

Obviously foods which have high levels of purines need to be avoided. Purine rich foods are things such as liver and kidneys and other offal. Mussels, some alcoholic drinks such as port, dried beans and peas can also bring on an attack. Really anyone who has a very rich diet which is high in meat can put themselves at risk of gout.

If anyone who is prone to gout eats too many of these types of food they start to get painful joints. Due to quick rises in uric acid this can sometimes occur within a few hours. To combat this anyone who suffers from gout should know how crucial their diet is. When you don’t know which foods to avoid for gout you can run the risk of frequent attacks.

If you or someone you know is prone to gout you firstly need to know which foods to avoid for gout. Then devise a diet that excludes them and includes lots of nutritious foods that will reduce gout attacks. You should not totally cut out foods which contain purines, but you should do all you can to limit them. Do this and gout attacks will be less intense and less frequent.
