Garlic is not significantly beneficial to gout patients, and a small amount of garlic is generally not likely to aggravate the severity of gout, but it is not recommended that patients consume large amounts, especially during acute attacks. Gout is a disease caused by disorders of purine metabolism and impaired uric acid excretion, which often leads to inflammatory lesions in the joints, and excessive consumption of garlic during a gout attack may lead to increased inflammation and may aggravate the adverse effects of gout medication. The cause of gout is closely related to a high purine diet. Garlic is a low purine food and therefore does not usually aggravate gout. However, when gout occurs, it can lead to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints and induce gouty arthritis, and garlic is a warm and pungent food, which is irritating and can aggravate inflammatory symptoms such as joint pain and swelling when consumed in excess. The main drugs used to treat patients’ pain are colchicine, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin tablets and etoricoxib tablets, and the common side effects of the above drugs include gastrointestinal reactions such as indigestion, stomach pain, diarrhea, etc. Patients who consume too much garlic while taking drugs often aggravate gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition to excessive consumption of garlic, gout patients should also avoid seafood, animal offal, meat soup, and high purine drinks such as beer and coffee to avoid aggravating the disease. The best food choices are low purine foods such as eggs, potatoes and winter squash. In addition to dietary control, gout patients should also use more water and long-term alkalinization of urine to lower uric acid to prevent gout attacks. If the diet and bad habits are well controlled, but the uric acid never comes down, you can choose to take uric acid-lowering drugs under the guidance of your doctor. You should also pay attention to maintaining good work and rest in your daily life, and pay attention to safety when exercising to avoid unnecessary damage to your body.
