15 Foods to Eat When You Have Gout
Water
Sweetened drinks are generally a no-go if you're dealing with gout. Pure fruit juice isn't bad, as long as it doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup. You might consider watering it down to get a lower sugar intake, too. Even cherry juice is recommended in low quantities.
However, you can have as much water as you want, and the more you drink, the fewer gout attacks you may have. Keeping hydrated is going to help your body move uric acid along more smoothly, and although no conclusive results were reached about why it works, the research definitely showed a reduction in gout attacks as more water was consumed.
