Gout patients are very painful at the onset, and a high purine, high calorie, high protein diet is a deadly killer for gout patients. So, what are some dietary contraindications for gout patients?
1, first of all, the food containing a very large amount of purines is absolutely contraindicated for gout patients: such as lamb heart, pancreas, concentrated gravy, dried meat, fish, sardines and yeast.
Secondly, foods containing large amount of purines are not suitable for gout patients, such as anchovy, cod, mahi-mahi, mackerel, salmon, scallop fish, salted pork, goose, pigeon, beef, liver, kidney and pheasant, etc.
3, containing a medium amount of purine food as little as possible, such as chicken, duck, lamb chops, pork, rabbit, brain, ham, tongue, offal (stomach and intestines, etc.), oyster meat, shrimp, eel, halibut, sour apple, beans (kidney-shaped beans), lentils, mushrooms or mushroom products, soy products, green beans, peas, spinach and peanuts, etc.
What can gout patients eat? Gout patients are suitable to eat the following low purine food.
1, various kinds of dairy and cheese; eggs; cereals, such as bread, polenta, noodles;
2.Vegetables, all kinds of vegetables except those with medium amount of purines;
3, lipids, all kinds of fats (moderate intake), cream products and butter;
4, nuts, such as walnuts, chestnuts;
5, gums, such as sea cucumbers and shark fins; concentrated vitamin products, such as cod liver oil;
6, beverages, such as tea, coffee, juice, soft drinks, chocolate and cocoa tea;
7 other categories, such as caviar, sugar, nectar, pies, etc.
Control the diet and drink more water.
Control the total amount of diet and reduce purine intake. Normal people’s daily diet contains about 600-1000mg of purine, and the amount of purine contained in the daily diet of gout patients should be reduced to about 150mg.
The intake of foods with high purine content, such as animal offal, brain marrow, mushrooms, etc., should be prohibited, and foods with medium and low purine content should be consumed in moderation.
Control the protein intake, it should not exceed 1g of protein per kg of body weight per day, and should be limited to less than 0.8g if the condition is serious; reduce the fat intake, and the total calories contained in the diet should be reduced by 10% to 15% compared with normal people.
Uric acid is easily dissolved in an alkaline environment, so more alkaline foods such as vegetables, fruits, hard fruits and milk should be consumed. During the acute attack period, more vegetables and fruits should be consumed; at the same time, the intake of vitamin B and vitamin C should be increased, as a large amount of vitamin B and vitamin C can promote the dissolution and discharge of uric acid salts accumulated in the tissues.
More foot baths and care for your feet.
As most patients have an initial attack, the first metatarsophalangeal joint (big toe) is red, swollen and painful. This is due to the fact that the big toe is far away from the heart, the local blood circulation is poor, the temperature of the toe is low, and uric acid is easily deposited there. So gout patients often take hot baths or soak their feet in hot water to promote blood circulation and reduce the deposition of uric acid. In addition, do not wear tight shoes to prevent blood circulation from being blocked, so as to avoid gout attacks.
Moderate dietary supplements to prevent recurrence.
According to Chinese medicine, local redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints are common in the acute stage of the disease, which mostly belong to damp-heat paralysis and obstruction, so the main treatment for this period is to clear heat and dampness; in the remission period, recurrent attacks of joint swelling and pain are common, which do not heal over time, and gout stones may appear around the joints, or joint stiffness, deformity and restricted movement, which mostly belong to spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction or liver and kidney deficiency, so the main treatment for this period is to strengthen the spleen and dampness or nourish the liver and kidney.
