Bad Food For Gout?
|
Think carefully about this type of food in your diet, and remember the mantra:
It might be just a meaty treat, but will it give me gouty feet?
Let me tell you why these types of processed meats can be bad food for gout. It's the "p" word - processed. Though a well-made sausage can be nutritious, and may contain additives that make it less acid producing than a similar portion of pure meat, you need to be careful with all processed foods.
The numbers in the table represent samples of the food items listed. All producers have different recipes, and your particular brand may be significantly different from those shown. No better example of this can be found than the only alkaline food listed - low sodium salami. In this instance, much of the salt has been replaced with potassium. I'm not suggesting that adding potassium to food makes it less bad food for gout - you just need to be careful what you eat. The more processed the food is, the harder it is to balance your food intake.
Remember to read and understand the PRAL food table introduction before you consult this food table. The pH balance of your meals is important, and processed foods will make it harder for you to estimate this, though you could always use a pH testing kit.
