Have you ever felt like your gout gets a lot worse after you eat something?
Why does my gout flare up after I eat something?
The first thing to note is that this will not happen after eating just any type of food. There are specific foods that worsen your gout.
So what foods worsen your gout?
To break it down, gout is a form of arthritis due to high uric acid levels in the bloodstream. The uric acid forms a build-up around the joints which can cause swelling and inflammation.
These foods are poison to people with gout…
Purine-Rich Foods
The breakdown of purines causes uric acid. So you should avoid foods like: liver, mussels, anchovies, spinach, asparagus, beef, and brewer’s yeast. These are all high in purines and you should steer far clear of them.
High-Protein Foods
Usually, protein is a good thing in any diet. However, when proteins are digested, they end up as uric acid. It is best to cut down on things like fish, poultry, eggs and red meat.
Refined Carbs
Avoid processed carbs like cookies, pasta, and bread. A carbohydrate overload in the body can cause a rise in the uric acid levels.
Alcohol
One of the biggest causes of gout attacks is alcohol. The reason for this is that alcohol prevents the uric acid from being flushed out of the body. When you are experiencing frequent gout attacks, cut out the alcohol and start drinking plenty of water.
