Question 1

does tomato or cherry tomato trigger gout?

Accepted Answer

Tomatoes and gout: Gout can be caused by eating a diet high in the purines.  This would include organ meats, beef, lamb, alcohol, seafoods, legumes to name a few.  Foods that are low in purines include tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, grains, fruits, eggs.  Therefore, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes are considered good foods to eat if you have chronic issues with gout.

Question 2

can a gout patient with uric acid level 5.8 eat tomato??and what all food items do you suggest??and what about chicken and fish,tea and coffee,etc..

Accepted Answer

Gout and diet: No particular food is prohibited with gout. Quantity and frequency matter.  Be modest with all meat sources. Keep portions small. Minimize red meats and organ meats. Maximize fruit, veggies, and whole grains. Drink plenty of fluid daily. Avoid alcohol. Tomato is fine. Uric acid comes principally from meat sources.

Question 3

NSAID's: Anti inflammatory medication such as Indocin (indomethacin) or even steroids are beneficial in calming down gout flares. Monitoring your diet may help as well.

Question 4

tequila good for gout?

Accepted Answer

Tequila and gout : No one is going to recommend that you drink alcohol to treat gout. With that said, there is evidence that tequila helps your kidneys get uric acid out. On the other hand, alcohol dehydrates you, which is bad for gout.

Question 5

is milk is good for gout?

Accepted Answer

Milk and gout.: Milk intake shouldn't have much bearing on gout.  You'd need a higher protein lad, combined with relative dehydration, to lead to an acute attack of gout- such as hamburgers and alcohol in the summer.

Question 6

is ham good for treating gout?

No: Gout is a kidney issue. It is triggered by certain foods in your diet. One small study suggested cherries may help but it was not a strong study. Since meat is a food with a high purine content, it has the potential to worsen the gout.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

No: It has no benefit in treating or preventing gout.

Question 8

what meds is good for gout or ulcera?

Accepted Answer

Several meds: For acute gout attacks, colchicine, nsaids, and Prednisone can be helpful. Long term prevention of attacks is done with allopurinol. I've seen literature suggesting that titrating Allopurinol to a uric acid level of 5.5 or lower as a goal to prevent "silent" joint damage. Ulcers are treated with ppi's like Omeprazole and either "triple" or "quadruple" therapy.

Question 9
