Here is a list of some of the foods that are high in purines. These foods have the highest concentration of purines and should therefore be avoided by people that are prone to or are already suffering from gout.
Beef, Pork, Bacon, Lamb, Seafood, Foods that are made with yeast like beer or bread, Alcoholic Beverages
These foods, while high in purine levels that can aggravate the symptoms of gout can be had occasionally by those who usually follow a low purine diet.
Asparagus, Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Peas, Spinach, Whole grain breads and cereals, White poultry meats, like chicken, duck or turkey, Kidney and lima beans.
The following foods are safe to eat in a low purine diet; however these should not be the only food you eat.
Green vegetables and tomatoes, Fruits and fruit juices, Breads that do not use yeast (may be found in the kosher section or a health food store), Nuts, Milk and milk products such as butter and cheese, Chocolate, Coffee and tea.
food to AVOID when you have gout :
all meat, esparragus, coliflower, spinach, fish especially oily fish like anchovies and shell fish, alcohol, oats, legumes, sugary food.
You CAN eat:
dairy products, eggs, potato, pasta, all vegatales but the above, rice, fruit (limit to 2 portions a day).
An infusion of rosemary tea is very soothing. (1 litre a day)
1. Lemon Juice
Gout is a build up of too much acid in the body. Therefore the body's pH level must be neutralized by adding alkaline to the body. This is best achieved by drinking the juice of a fresh lemon. Lemons are 20% acid, 80% alkaline. I just take the juice of a whole lemon, mix it with warm water in a tumbler and down it through a straw. Doing this first thing in the morning on a empty stomach also helps cleanse the kidneys which is linked to other gout related problems.
2. Cherries
Prior to taking lemon juice every day, if I felt a gout attack coming on, I would go and buy a kilo of cherries and gradually munch on them for a few hours. Cherries are a natural anti-inflammatory.
3. Diet and Exercise
While the first two points are excellent treatments, a healthy balanced diet and exercising 3 times a week for 45 minutes is core to preventing gout from occurring in the first place.
Fad diets are rubbish. Dieting is pretty simple. It's pretty obvious what's healthy and not:
Things that grow out the ground and that are natural = good. Things in colourful packets with loads of e-numbers and weird looking animations promoting them = bad.
Moderation is the key.
High Purine Foods that should be avoidedBeer, anchovies, organ meat (brains, kidney, liver, sweetbreads), game meats, gravies, yeast, meat extracts, sardines, herring, mackerel, scallops.
Medium Purine Foods that may be eaten in ModerationFresh and Saltwater Fish, shellfish, eel, meat, poultry, meat soups and broth, asparagus , mushrooms, cauliflower, spinach, legumes, oatmeal, bran, wheat germ, whole-grain breads and cereals, eggs.
Low Purine Foods eat as much as you like (within reason).Breads and cereals (low-fiber, white flour, or refined grain types), nuts, peanut butter. Vegetables not high in purines, soups - cream style or vegetable without meat extract, coffee, tea, fruit juices, soft drinks, Gelatin, sugar, low fat cheeses.
Foods That are reputed to help relieve the symptoms of gout.Cherry juice or strawberries are said to be helpful. Some chemicals contained in dark berries may help reduce the inflammation and lower the uric acid.
Oily fish like salmon, or fatty acids in flax seed or olive oil or nuts may reduce inflammation too.
replacing meat with tofu (from soybeans) instead of meat could also be helpful.
Some have found relief with OPC3 antioxidant supplement.
A balanced diet for gout sufferers includes foods that are high in complex carbohydrates, low in protein and low in fat.

Gout is a disease caused by an excessive amount of uric acid. Now, uric acid is produced by the catabolism of nucleotides that usually exist in cells. So, any food that has cells (animal cells) can make gout worse, like meat specially organ meat, fish... etc
Foods that can lead to uric acid and gout are: anchovies, sardines, herring, mushrooms, gravies, organ meats, and other purine rich foods. Alcohol, especially beer should also be avoided.
Just watch out for beans peas dried beans and the like as these are moderately high. most vegetables are low in purines which is accredited with the formation of uric acid.
Sea foods are the highest alongside ofalmeats then red meat followed by pork and chicken. Alcohol is also increasing the levels of uric acid.
Spinach is relatively rich in purines compared to other vegetables, however it is still very low on the purine list.
No Arthritis can be a symptom of a high level of uric acid as in the case of Gouty arthritis for example. In that case the arthritis is the result of a high concentration of uric acid in the blood leading to the Uric acid crystallising into fine sharp shards which in turn settle in certain joints and other areas of the body. the kidneys are supposed to clean uric acid from the system. Uric acid is metabolised from purines which are a part of the nucleus of the living cells we eat and those that we turn over in our own body's as cells die and are replaced. Different foods for example produce more or less uric acid.
A lot of foods that are high in protein are also high in purines thatcause a raising in uric acid in the blood. this can lead to gout.
There is no connection between hyaluronic acid and gout. Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. This causes uric acid crystals to form in joints usually in the big toe, foot or ankle. This is caused because your body no longer processes purines in foods correctly causing uric acid in the blood. Hyaluronic acid plays no role in this process. It is a natural substance that is in your joints and the lack of it in the joints is a cause of osteoarthritis.
Common causes of heartburn are peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or acid indigestion. Acid indigestion or heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest located just behind the breast bone or in the upper stomach area. Heart burn is often triggered by certain fatty foods, alcoholic beverages, citrus fruits, or spicy foods.
No eggs are one of the foods that are on the low scale in purines and are therefore better then most foods to eat. remember that all foods that start up as living cells have purines that are metabolised into uric acid by the bodyand egs have relatively few.
Some foods, such as rhubarb and spinach, are high in oxalic acid
Some foods are so high in acid that they are capable of making the acid in the stomach even stronger.
What causes a high PH level in the blood
High acidic foods are the best foods to avoid, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits and chocolate. Acid reflux is a terrible disease that causes the acid to rise from your stomach and can lead to esophageal problems if you do not maintain a healthy pH balance.
foods that have a high alkaline content to neutralise acid
rain, coke any thing that has a high acid level. im doing a project on the very thing
lemonjuice
Some tasty foods high in uric acid are meats and diary coffee and alcohol. Eating a variey of these foods and drinks can cause stress on the kidneys but it can be balanced out by eating healthy foods.
Judging from my own experience sweets and high sugar content is the worst. Also anything fried. Carbonated drinks and coffee proably from the caffiene are another. Also alchohol and spicy foods cause a high acid level. Meat is hard for your stomach to digest which means more acid and more discomfort.
Pomegranite juice has a relatively high citric acid level.
Acid reflux can be triggered by various foods, most notably those that are spicy. In addition, acidic foods, such as tomatoes and oranges, or high-fat foods, such as poutine, can triffer acid reflux.
If you suffer from acid reflux, then you should know to avoid certain foods that have high levels of acid in them. Instead, you should aim to eat those foods that have a much higher level of alkaline contained within them. I suggest making your own recipes and asking your doctor for suggestions too.
