Get rid of gout, Consumption of liquids & fish.
Consume plenty of liquids. Try to drink at least 2 qt (2 liters) a day to dilute urine and prevent kidney stone formation. Although beer and wine, as products of fermentation, are the only alcoholic drinks known to be high in purines, any alcohol can interfere with the elimination of uric acid. Gout sufferers should drink only distilled alcohols in small amounts. Caffeinated beverages can also increase the production of uric acid and impair its removal from the body. Eat fish rich in omega-3s. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish have been found to reduce pain and inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis and may have a similar benefit in gout, but this may be countered by the purine content of the fish.
Gout sufferers also may have hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol. Counseling by a registered dietitian may help in designing appetizing, healthful meals that strike a balance between these health concerns and the enjoyment of food.
