It is currently believed that moderate consumption of bamboo shoots will not induce gout.
High purine food will cause fluctuation of uric acid concentration in the patient’s body and thus induce gout. Therefore, gout patients should avoid foods with high purine content. Bamboo shoots are a common vegetable. Each 100g of bamboo shoots contains 29.0mg of purine, which is a low purine food, so moderate consumption of bamboo shoots will not induce gout.
Other common factors that may trigger gout include sudden exposure to cold, strenuous exercise, alcohol, obesity and smoking, etc. Patients who need to avoid gout attacks should try to avoid these triggering factors in their daily life, pay attention to a low-purine diet and a large amount of drinking water, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid excessive exertion.
Gout patients can go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for detailed consultation.
