Sugar may not contain purines, but it can increase the risk of a gout flare-up. Here’s what to watch out for:
- Sodas and Sweetened Beverages: Drinks that contain high-fructose corn syrup can trigger uric acid production. Water and natural fruit juices (in moderation) are better alternatives.
- Candy and Sweets: Limiting sugary treats can also help manage your symptoms.
Alcohol
Alcohol metabolism can interfere with the elimination of uric acid from your body. Here are some tips:
- Beer and Spirits: These are particularly high in purines, so it’s best to avoid them.
- Wine: While wine is lower in purines, moderation is key.
