Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Gout develops due to increase in uric acid levels in the blood. A gout-friendly diet helps in reducing the symptoms and acute attacks. Mainly in gout you should avoid food high in purines.

You can follow these home remedies:

- Avoid red meat, seafood, sweetbreads and gravies.

- Avoid alcohol.

- You can include beans, legumes, green leafy vegetables, peas, mushroom, cauliflower, fruits, oats, brown rice, wheat in your diet.

- Increase your fluid intake esp water.

- Regular exercise and deep breathing exercises also helps.

For a detailed diet chart you can meet a dietitian or use 'Ask a Dietitian" option available on your dashboard on HealthcareMagic website.

I hope this answered your query.
