Doctor Portal: A diet for patients with gout

Gout is a form of painful arthritis that occurs when high levels of uric acid form in the blood and crystals form in and around the joint. Dieting can help reduce uric acid, thus reducing the risk of gout pain.
Having a diet against gout is not a cure, but it slows the onset of joint damage.
A diet for patients with gout is designed to help:
Achieve a healthy weight and good eating habits.
Avoid some and not all foods containing purines.
Eat foods that can control uric acid levels.
Eat moderate amounts of healthy foods.
Diet for patients with gout:
Breakfast: Unsweetened whole grains, with low or skim milk, can be taken with coffee and water.
Lunch: Grilled chicken breast slices with a whole mustard roll, with a green salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, with free milk or low fat. A cup of cherry with water can be eaten as a snack between lunch and dinner.
Dinner: 3 or 4 ounces roasted salmon, with steamed green beans, and a half or cup of instant noodles with olive oil, lemon and pepper, with a cup of melon of fresh water and weak milk. Non-caffeinated drinks can be consumed at night, such as herbal drinks.
