How to Use a Uric Acid Diet to Relieve Uric Acid Symptoms Fast
First though, it's important to really understand what the root cause of gout is. We know that uric acid crystals in the joints and tendons cause the symptoms of gout -- excruciating pain, redness, swelling, etc. -- but how are they formed? They are simply formed from excess uric acid in your bloodstream.
Okay, so where does this excess come from? It is the byproduct of the breakdown of 'purines' in our body and in our food. Purines are natural chemical compounds that convert food to energy and genes to protein amongst other things. But after they carry out there job they breakdown. One of the results is uric acid.
Normally this doesn't cause any problems because your kidneys then step in and help flush any excess from your body through your urine. Sometimes though they don't do this effectively enough and you end up with the excess acid in your bloodstream. This then accumulates as crystals in your joints, tendons and tissues.
So, when you have gout, the objective is twofold: (1) get rid of the pain and symptoms fast, and, (2) cure your gout over the longer term. You can do this through a good diet that eliminates 'bad' gout food and includes 'good' gout food...
Food to eliminate as part of a uric acid diet are foods that contain high levels of purines:-
Anchovies, bouillon, brains, broth, consomme, dried legumes, fish, goose, gravy, heart, herring, kidneys, liver, mackerel, red meat, meat extracts, mincemeat, mussels, partridge, poultry (especially turkey), roe, sardines, scallops, shellfish, shrimps, sweetbreads, peas, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast, yeast extracts. And you must avoid all alcohol.
Food to include as part of a uric acid diet are foods that have relatively low levels of purines:-
Low-fat dairy products, high-vitamin C foods, complex carbohydrates (e.g. breads, cereals, pasta, rice, etc.), essential fatty acids (e.g. tuna, salmon, seeds), vegetables (but not peas, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms), cherries, strawberries, blueberries, grapes.
Whilst diet is very important, there are so many other things to take into account when looking to get rid of your gout for good. And, since you're probably suffering agonies right now, you also need to get relief as fast as you can. So you should be looking for both speed and permanency, i.e. get rid of your pain now, and, start on your preventative treatment at the same time.
