Gout patients are not allowed to eat meat, because all meat is a medium purine food, which, if consumed, will increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood, thus triggering an acute attack of gout, or aggravating the original condition. All kinds of meat, including chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef, lamb, etc., should be eaten sparingly or not at all, especially during acute arthritis attacks. In addition, gout patients should avoid foods with high purine content, such as various seafood and animal offal, fermented foods, hot pot and thick broth, etc. They can eat more alkaline foods or beverages, such as eggs, milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, wheat, sweet potatoes and other grain-based foods.
