Question:

Answers:

To lower uric acid: foods you can eat
cherries were reported to reduce uric acid in a small study.
celery extracts (celery or celery seed either in capsule form or as a tea) is believed by many to reduce uric acid levels (although these are also diuretics). Celery extracts have been reported to act synergistically with anti-inflammatory drugs.
any kinds of cheese. Cheese has been recommended as a low-purine food,] and dairy products have been found to reduce the risk of gout.
Food to avoid:
foods high in purines
limit food high in protein such as meat, fish, poultry, or tofu to 8 ounces (226 grams) a day. Avoid entirely during a flare up. Tofu has been proposed as a safe source of protein for gout patients due to its small and transient effect on plasma urate levels.
sweetbreads, kidneys, liver, brains, or other offal meats.
sardines and anchovies
Seafood
alcohol. Some claim that this applies especially to beer, on the basis that brewer's yeasts are very rich in purine. In view of the fact that most modern commercial beer contains trace amounts of yeast, this claim requires substantiation. Formerly, port wine was sweetened with litharge, causing lead poisoning, of which gout is a complication. Ironically, red wines, particularly those produced by traditional methods, contain procyanidins released from grape seeds during wine making, which have been reported to lower serum uric acid levels by an indirect mechanism.However, withdrawal of urate-lowering therapy is associated with recurrence of acute gouty arthritis.
meat extracts, consommés, and gravies
