Drinking coconut water to treat gout this claim does not have a clear scientific basis, there is no evidence that drinking coconut water can treat gout, gout treatment requires the use of drugs, food can not replace the drug treatment. Gout purine metabolism disorders and uric acid excretion disorders, generally recommended that gout patients strict low purine diet, do not smoke, drink alcohol, do not drink beverages containing high fructose content, coconut water contains only low levels of purine and fructose, gout patients can drink in moderation. Although coconut water is suitable for gout patients to drink, but coconut water itself contains vitamins, proteins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium and can not play an effective therapeutic role in gout. Gout patients need to use non-steroidal drugs such as diclofenac, glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone and colchicine, uric acid-lowering drugs such as benzbromarone, febuxostat and other treatments. It is recommended that gout patients go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and treatment as prescribed, and do not believe in traditional Chinese medicine.
