[size=4][b]Foods Avoid Gout - the Acidic Foods to Avoid With Gout Diets[/b][/size][hr]Most people when choosing a gout friendly diet will look to cut out or reduce foods high in purine, as metabolizing purine in the body leads to increased levels of uric acid, which is the cause behind gout symptoms. However, high purine foods may not be the only foods to avoid with gout.

[size=large][b]Uric Acid is Formed During the Processing and Breaking Down of Purines in the Body[/b][/size][hr]This is a natural substance that is produced during cellular building and is also found in a lot of the foods we eat. Purine-rich foods include: Having a penchant for Gout Symptoms led us to write all that there has been written on Gout Symptoms here. Hope you too develop a penchant for Gout Symptoms!

Quote:Therefore, a constantly low pH value can cause your body to decrease it's processing of uric acid, leading to hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia is a medical term for a raised uric acid level in the blood, and can lead to gout. As the levels of uric acid become higher there is nowhere for any more uric acid to go, so it is deposited in crystal form in the spaces and connective tissues between the joints. Wink

[size=large][b]Acidity is Measured Using a Ph Value Ranging Between 0[/b][/size][hr]14, with 0-6 being acidic, 7 is neutral and 8-14 is alkaline. Where gout is concerned it is less about the pH value of the food, rather what that food does to the pH level of the body during and after digestion. :o.

The higher the pH levels of the body (an alkaline state) the easier it is for uric acid to be dissolved in the blood stream and eliminated via the kidneys. The lower the pH i.e. the more acidic the body pH the harder it is to process uric acid.
