Your Gout Food List Should Include Snacks

Now here is an interesting gout food list - snacks.
I'm a great believer in snacks as part of a good gout diet.
Spread your eating instead of one or two large meals, and you lower the risk of overloading your body through binge or starvation, both of which tend to promote uric acid increases.

But, of course, there are good snacks and bad snacks. Chewing on barbecue flavor pork skins is unlikely to help your waistline, your health or your gout. I usually recommend something from the fresh fruit gout food list, but there are some other good choices in the table below.

Ones to avoid are acid producing or high calorie snacks, or anything with added fructose. You can also consider snacking on small portions of foods in the other tables, shown in my PRAL food table introduction. It's important to understand that page before you study the following table.

Another word of warning before you select your snack. Avoid anything containing hydrogenated oil or fat. Even quite small amounts can raise uric acid levels.
