GOUT

GOUT

Gout appears to come on suddenly, often in the form of a painfully swollen big toe or lower body joint. In reality, it’s the end result of a process that’s been taking place in the body for a while.

The underlying cause of gout is different from those things that trigger a gout attack. Gout is the result of excess uric acid in the body, a condition called hyperuricemia.

Uric acid is a substance that normally forms when the body breaks down purines, which are found in human cells and in many foods.  Uric acid is transported by the blood to the kidneys and eliminated in the urine. However, some people either overproduce uric acid or they produce a normal amount, but their kidneys can’t process it efficiently and an excess of uric acid builds up. Some, but not all, of those people may develop gout.

Lifestyle factors, such as a diet high in certain high-purine foods, obesity and excessive alcohol use – especially heavy beer consumption – also can contribute to development of hyperuricemia and gout.

Adopting healthy lifestyle habits is a key part of an effective gout treatment plan. Eating a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity and losing weight if needed can lower your risk of repeated gout attacks, as well as the chances of developing heart disease, which is common in people with gout.

Diet

Developing a lifelong eating strategy that focuses on following a heart-healthy diet should be the goal for people with gout. This diet includes all the food groups, especially vegetables, whole grains, plant proteins such as nuts and legumes, and low-fait dairy. Refined carbohydrates and processed foods should be kept to a minimum.

The following foods either lower uric acid levels or are good for the heart:

Skim milk and other low fat dairy products

Whole grain foods

Plant oils (olive, canola, sunflower)

All vegetables

Some fruits (those that are less sweet)

Vitamin C supplements (500 to 1,000 milligrams daily)

Coffee

Water

The following foods are high in purines, or are known to trigger gout attacks:

Red meat and organ means (liver, tongue and sweetbreads)

Shellfish such as shrimp and lobster

Sugary beverages

Excessive alcohol (more than one alcoholic drink for women and two for men within 24 hours)

Physical Activity and Weight Management

Reaching and maintaining a proper weight is an important part of managing gout. Not only does losing weight help reduce the uric acid in the blood, it can lessen the risk of heart disease or stroke, both common in people who have gout. Being physically active is an important part of managing weight. But getting started on losing weight or being active isn’t always easy. A doctor can help patients set realistic goals and choose appropriate exercise.
