about Gout.
Our previous articles were discussions on:

including Self-Help Measures and One’s Outlook
regarding Gout Attacks.
Today, we will focus on Dietary modifications for people
who have gout.
If you have gout, remember to AVOID the following:
 Organ meats high in purine content (eg.
sweetbreads, liver, kidney)

beverages, or foods.
 Alcohol overuse (defined as more than 2 servings
per day for a male and 1 serving per day for a
female) in all gout patients.
 Any alcohol use in gout during periods of frequent
gout attacks, or advanced gout under poor
