Low Purine Diet

for Gout

Avoiding high-purine foods including red meat, organ meats, shellfish, sardines, anchovies and beer to reduce uric acid production.

How it works

Purines are broken down into uric acid in the body. Reducing dietary purine intake lowers uric acid production and reduces the frequency of gout attacks.

What to watch for

Diet alone is rarely sufficient to normalise uric acid levels but meaningfully reduces attack frequency. Most people also require medication for full control.
