Gout patients can eat ice cream appropriately, if a large amount of intake may trigger gout attacks.
Generally speaking, the purine content of ice cream is not high, and appropriate intake is OK. However, excessive intake can lead to gouty attacks, because ice cream contains a lot of sugar and fat, which may cause obesity and hyperlipidemia if consumed in large quantities, and these factors may trigger gout.
Acute attacks of gout can be given colchicine, glucocorticoids (such as prednisone, etc.), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, etc.), non-exacerbation period can choose to lower uric acid drugs, such as febuxostat, benzbromarone and so on.
Gout patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for detailed consultation, and follow the doctor’s instructions for a reasonable diet.
