What Is a Good Diet for Gout?
Gout is an acutely painful type of arthritis caused by a build up of uric acid in one of the body’s joints. Chronic gout occurs with repeated episodes of inflammation and pain that typically involves multiple joints. The exact cause of gout is not known. It seems to be hereditary in nature and is more common in men and postmenopausal women as well as in those who drink alcohol. Gout was referred to as “The Disease of Kings.” Diet and lifestyle changes may help to prevent attacks.
