yes in fact it can.

It would seem that grapefruit is moderately low in purines and therefore would not in itself play a large role in a gout attack.

However, things are not as they always seem with gout. Personal experience says that drinking Grapefruit Juice 16 oz's a day or more can actually bring on a gout attack. This result is repeatable with some gout sufferers, while others don't seem to be affected. When in doubt go lightly on the Grapefruit Juice.

Does grapefruit cause gout?

Grapefruit itself does not cause gout; rather, it may interact with certain medications that are used to manage gout. Grapefruit can inhibit enzymes that metabolize various drugs, potentially leading to increased levels of these medications in the body. However, gout is primarily linked to high levels of uric acid in the blood, often influenced by diet, alcohol consumption, and genetics. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional regarding dietary choices and medication interactions if you have concerns about gout.
