Food For Gout? I'll Drink To That!

Don't forget! When you are deciding on food for gout, you also need to consider what you drink.

The majority of beverages listed, listed below, have an alkalizing effect. However, be careful when you are comparing values. Some values are for 100g of ready-to-drink beverages. However, the higher values tend to be for powder or other similar that will be diluted before being drunk. In these case the amount you will normally use per serving will be much less that 100g. As a rough guide, there are about 20 teaspoons in 100g, so divide the table value by 20 where appropriate.

For most gout sufferers, the best drink is plain water. For variety, most of the drinks in this table are an acceptable substitute. Avoid highly acid forming drinks, unless you are taking them as part of a meal or snack that includes sufficient alkalizing food for gout. Please read my introduction to PRAL food tables.
