Eating acidic foods usually cause the gout. Eating foods that are high in purine causes gout. Diuretics like coffee can also cause gout. When you drink a lot of coffee, you go to the bathroom a lot. Going to the bathroom a lot causes the loss of potasium.

Yes, there is a relationship between potassium levels and gout. High potassium levels (hyperkalemia) can occur in patients with kidney issues, which may also contribute to increased uric acid levels, a key factor in gout. Conversely, low potassium levels (hypokalemia) can lead to increased urinary excretion of uric acid, potentially reducing gout flare-ups. However, the direct impact of potassium levels on gout is still an area of ongoing research.
