Is It Safe For Gout Sufferers To Consume Soy Milk?

Hello Deniiteza,

Gout is a result of the accumulation of uric acid obtained from the consumption of foods with high purine levels which are then broken down by the body into uric acid. Gout itself can cause symptoms or not, if symptoms occur, it often attacks the joints and causes pain.

Some foods that trigger gout include animal offal, marine or seafood products, nuts including green beans and soybeans, and green vegetables such as kale, spinach, cabbage, jaur and others. Where consumption needs to be limited. Also check uric acid levels regularly so that they are monitored and also check with your doctor so that they are given appropriate treatment, either pain medication or drugs that help to reduce uric acid levels.

If uric acid levels are high and not managed properly it can cause various complications such as joint pain, joint damage, and also kidney stones that can cause kidney damage.
