GOUT: Nuts?

[Firestorm1978]

I have looked at online sources and it was mentioned that nuts are actually good for gout as they are relatively low in purine and some may help with inflammation. However, my friends (including myself) have tried eating nuts and sometimes we ended up having gout flares. I have doubts whether the nuts triggered our gout flares. Some suggest that nuts are beneficial for gout while some insist that nuts trigger gout flare.

Anyone with gout here can share your experiences? Thank you!

It was stated on many websites (local and international) that almost all nuts are beneficial for gout. It was stated that hazelnut, almonds and a few types are especially beneficial. However, some of my friends swear to the fact that nuts will trigger their gout flares. I had nuts before (in moderation) and after a few days, can feel my gout flare building up. Not sure whether it's due mainly to my daily intake of nuts.

Yup. But what about specifically nuts?

Did you have gout flares after having nuts?

Yup. But what about specifically nuts?

I do believe rich in proteins are the culprits

The internet will give you a long list of foods but my specialist told me I need to know my triggers

I think depends on your body. Some veggies will trigger as well like broccoli and spinach. That's what my ex colleague (he has gout too) warned me when I ate alot of these veggies but so far I didn't get any.

I also eat nuts almost everyday but no more than 20 pcs due to too high calories.

If u love proteins but got guot then keep exercising to burn out those uric acid tgat causes gout

Thank you all. I know all those foods that may trigger gout (e.g. red meat, shellfish, spinach, anchovies etc). Also those foods that are proven to help prevent gout flares (e.g. cherries, lemon etc). It's specifically nuts that I am very curious. As mentioned, some experienced gout flares even after taking nuts in moderation. However, many websites are saying nuts are actually beneficial for gout.

I love nuts (help prevent my hunger cravings) and although I eat in moderation, I also worry whether it really triggers gout flares for some reasons. Was wondering those of you here with gout experience the above?

Peanuts trigger gout

ya some ppl I know believes that nuts could be the trigger for the gout. But they just either eat less or stop eating it...probably it was their trigger.

imo really have to eat everything in moderation

 

[deathan9el]

dun just based on internet search

maybe diff ppl will react differently in what they consume?

I try to go for naturally baked ones. Sometimes will also go for those roasted or with flavours like tom yam, wasabi, salted etc.
