Question : Which foods can I eat when having gout attacks?

Answered by Dr. Chander Mohan Singh (39 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Avoid high protein diet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your query.

In gout you must avoid high protein diet ( non veg).

You can eat vegetables, dairy products, cherries.

Most important is having a lot of water.

You should not ignore medication which you are taking for gout.

Do light exercise, morning walk.

Avoid alcohol and smoking.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.
