Nutritionist Dietitian for Gout Management

Receive personalized and actionable advice to manage gout and enhance your quality of life.

Understanding gout isn't always straightforward, but at TeamNutrition, we are here to illuminate your path. Gout, often experienced as sudden bouts of pain in the big toe or other joints, can be influenced by the level of uric acid in the blood. Our dietitians provide clear advice and dietary solutions to help you live better with gout and reduce flare-ups.

What is Gout?

Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that can cause severe pain, most often in the big toe. Following the consumption of certain foods, especially those high in protein, our bodies may struggle to filter out certain wastes, including uric acid, which then forms small crystals in your joints. Gout attacks can ensue, limiting your ability to move and enjoy life.

Managing Gout Through Diet

What you put on your plate can greatly affect gout. Eating fewer foods high in purines and choosing more foods that promote a healthy weight can help lower uric acid levels. Drinking plenty of water instead of sugary and fizzy drinks is also a wise move. Our experts will guide you to gradually change your eating habits without it being too difficult.

Foods to Limit to Prevent Gout Flare-ups

To prevent attacks, it's recommended to limit foods that can increase uric acid, such as seafood and certain meats, as well as sugary drinks, including sodas and those containing high-fructose corn syrup. Reducing your alcohol intake can also make a big difference. For more information, take a look at our article on foods to avoid if you have gout.
