Can I eat lotus white for gout? The answer is yes, it is possible to eat. Gout is the accumulation of uric acid caused by abnormal purine metabolism in the body, and the accumulation of uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. In the process of gout treatment, the most important thing is to achieve dietary control. Dietary control means that gout patients are advised to eat less and no high purine foods. This high purine diet is the amount of purine in each 100g of food containing more than 100mg of purine. The vast majority of foods with more than 100mg of purine are seafood products, including eel, eel, carp, swordfish and abalone, all of which are very high purine foods. As for the lotus white mentioned in the question, it is a food with relatively low purine content and can be consumed by gout patients.
