Could it be okay for someone with gout to eat avocado?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Avocados actually are a good source of potassium which may help prevent flares of gout when eaten in moderation. No problem with eating avocados--these shouldn't cause gout to flare. For more information see, http://www.Rheumatology.Org/practice/clinical/patients/diseases_and_conditions/gout/.
