Brief Answer:
A diet rich in purines can raise uric acid levels in the body, Meat and se
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case,
Dietary advice- The Purines, which are chemicals found in some food, when they are taken in food are broken down into uric acid.
A diet rich in purines can raise uric acid levels in the body, Meat and seafood may increase your risk of gout. Dairy products may lower your risk.
Following are the food items rich in purines-
1. Organ meats, such as liver, kidney, sweetbreads, and brains
Meats, including bacon, beef, pork, and lamb
Foods that are safe to eat that is they are low in purines like
1. Green vegetables, tomatoes, fruits and fruit juices
2. Breads and cereals that are not whole-grain
3. Butter, buttermilk, cheese, and eggs Chocolate and cocoa Coffee, tea, and carbonated beverages Peanut butter and nuts.
To prevent gout attack from occurring, my suggestion would be-
1. Try to keep serum uric acid level below 6mg/decilitre.
2. Drink plenty of water and increase it proportionate to your physical work and weather condition. Follow the dietary advice as written above. Take citrus fruit / tab.Limcee to have your daily dose of vitamin C.
3. Try to avoid stressful situation by better planning, weight control and regular exercises helps.
4. If an attack of Gout occurs while on allopurinol, you should increase the dose besides taking pain killer. You may change to febustat if have side effects to allopurinol consulting your doctor.
Yes you can drink tonned milk but not in excess.
