Patients with gout without sugar and milk can drink tea and coffee.

Chinanews.com, Feb. 20-according to a report by Taiwan's Central News Agency, Huang Guangyong, director of the Rheumatic Immunization Center of Taiwan's Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, said today that gout patients often can only drink more water and eat less meat, but according to research, previously not recommended tea and low-fat milk are not easy to cause gout, and even high-purine vegetables can eat with peace of mind.

Huang Guangyong points out that when it comes to gout dietary advice, apart from eating seafood and meat, tea, milk, and even foods classified as high-purine, such as soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, and broccoli, should be avoided. But according to a new study in the European Journal of Rheumatology, high-purine vegetables have little effect on gout, and it is not easy to eat too much, even if you want to warm up in winter.

Huang Guangyong said that some beverages that could not be drunk in the past have now been "lifted", giving gout patients an alternative to boiling water. Such as tea, coffee and other drinks, as long as do not add sugar water, cream balls, etc., you can drink normally.

In addition, we should pay attention to drinking less fruit juice. Huang Guangyong said that in the past, patients with gout often complained that they had eaten very light, but the gout still broke out from time to time. After questioning, they found that it was caused by frequent drinking of fruit juice. Due to the high sugar content of many fruits, it is easy to ingest too much, leading to gout attacks.

In addition to paying attention to food, you should be more careful when taking medicine. Huang Guangyong says that many people will ignore the effects of drugs, such as diuretics, aspirin, and immunosuppressants that may cause gout to relapse. Therefore, when seeing a doctor, doctors should be reminded of their own relevant medical history, which can be used as a reference for prescribing medicine.

How to avoid gout? Huang Guangyong points out that high uric acid is still the main cause of gout, and diet should avoid drinking alcohol and too much viscera, seafood and other foods. It is suggested that people with a history of gout should regularly receive blood uric acid test and control the uric acid value in the normal range. Once the attack occurs, they should also follow the doctor's instructions to take medicine to reduce the probability of complications such as gout nephropathy.
