Gout Causing Foods - Gout Causing Food You Must Avoid

<h1>Gout Causing Foods - Gout Causing Food You Must Avoid</h1>Author: <a title="Jon Cielo" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/jon-cielo/89566.htm">Jon Cielo</a> Gout causing foods need to be avoided if you are a gout victim. In other words to get relief from your gout you must completely avoid gout causing food at all costs. But which food or foods do you need to avoid and why? Let's start with the basics... Gout is caused by excess uric acid in your blood that forms sharp crystals in your joints such as your big toe, ankles, knees, elbows, etc. This gives rise to the symptoms most commonly associated with gout; redness, swelling, inflammation, heat and of course unbearable pain! Uric acid is formed from the breakdown of chemical compounds called 'purines' which exist in our body cells and foods and carry out vital functions such as converting food to energy and genes to protein. Our kidneys normally maintain healthy uric acid levels in our blood but sometimes, for various reasons, they fail to do this correctly and we end up with this uric acid excess, which then causes gout. You can see then that it's the purines that are at the start of the process. But as well as existing in our bodies, purines are also found in most foods. So it's reasonable to conclude that, where you are a gout victim, you must reduce the levels of purine-rich foods that you consume. Further, some foods are extremely high in purines and it's these foods that we can describe as gout causing foods and which must be avoided completely. The following foods are typical and you must avoid them at all costs... 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, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast, yeast extracts. And you must avoid all alcohol. But you need to take care. You need to replace these foods with other 'good' gout food. If you just 'fast' you can actually make your gout even worse. And there's even more things to consider such as your lifestyle, weight, general health, and many other factors in a proper gout treatment regime. So although cutting out gout causing foods is important it's only part of the solution. To get to grips with all these factors will take you a lot of time and effort, but will be worth it in the end. Unfortunately, it's beyond the scope of this article. However, there is a very popular, fully-researched and proven e-report that you can get your hands on in minutes which does all of this for you. Its easy, step-by-step approach will lead you to a guaranteed, totally natural, home-based remedy that works for thousands of people around the world.
