GOUT: Nuts?

[Itsthatguy]

Asparagus also may trigger gout.

ask your nutritionist for clear advise?
dun just based on internet search

maybe diff ppl will react differently in what they consume?

Ya maybe ba. Cos I even look at our Singapore medical doctor/medical websites which states that nuts do not trigger gout flares.

Asparagus also may trigger gout.

Yes. That's why I stay away from Asparagus and spinach (although I think moderation is fine).

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

I think naturally baked one should be much lower in calories than those with added flavours.

I don hav gouts

But frens who hav gouts say different ppl hav diff tolerance to food tat trigger gouts. Also also dep on the amount u take. In 1 of the posts u mention "....daily intake of nuts".

Is tat too much or ok? By rule of thumb, those food tat trigger gout on u, don eat or eat less often.
Simple

Ya. I take about less than 20 nuts every other day. However, sometimes, I do feel this gout flare building up. Thus, not sure whether it's due to the nuts intake.

Did you have gout flares after having nuts?

Yes lol

How many here with gout take Allopurinol on a daily basis? I have been taking it for years. But not sure whether it will have any long-term effects. My doc told me that if I don't take Allopurinol, my long-term gout flares will cause even more damage to my body over the years zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

My dad lor lol.

[Firestorm1978]

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?

Maybe try nuts high in fats (omega 3) and low in omega 6 and protein. Peanuts are high in omega 6.

Can explore unsweetened and non-salted pecans, macadamia nuts, pili nuts.

Go see doctor to draw blood to test Uric acid levels in blood

If too high, need Allopurinol daily to bring down Uric acid level

 

[RSKeisuke]

Eat more cherries.

and drink lots of plain water to flush your body

I think follow mine better. Cos I have been avoiding mutton and other red meat (although occasional duck). Also abstain from beer/wine. But I have a weakness for seafood. Allopurinol daily and Colchicine if I find my gout flare building up.

My first kidney stone attack was the WORST pain ever for me. I had tonsil removal surgery and even nasal widening surgery (cut away some flesh and widen the passage way) and it was not so painful.

After flushed out, just three tiny stones. I was shocked that 3 tiny stones could cause such acute pain (it's as if a knife was cutting across my skin). I wonder those with gigantic stones which I saw online......and they could lived with it for years! I can't imagine it!
