What is Gout?

Gout, also known as Gouty Arthritis. This is the name given to a sudden burning sensation accompanied by pain and swelling in the joints. The gout pain and inflammation come all of a sudden as an attack and can occur over and over till you get proper treatment for Gout. Although it occurs mostly in men, some women also get affected by it. Frequent attacks can cause harm to your tendons, joints, and tissues and the person feels extremely uneasy while walking. If you are overweight and consume too much alcohol, then you are at a greater risk of contracting gout. Most of the times, a person suffers a gout attack during the night. It begins with a sharp pain in the big toe accompanied by swelling, redness, tenderness and a strong burning sensation.

 

What causes Gout?

The root cause of gout is uric acid. Hyperuricemia is too much uric acid in your blood creates crystals of uric acid in the joints and this leads to gouty arthritis. The elevated uric acid levels lead to pain and inflammation of the joints along with swelling and redness. When certain proteins called purines in our body are broken down, the uric acid gets produced as a byproduct. Purine is found in the body naturally but it is also found in certain foods.

The uric acid levels in the body can get high due to obesity, genetics, and chronic decreased kidney function and due to certain medicines such as diuretics. Consuming too much red meat, fish and other seafood can also increase the uric acid levels in the body.

The symptoms of gout and the way they show up for different individuals may vary. Although most people experience gout in the form of an attack, some may have chronic gout. They have it all the time.

    As the oats is a significant source of protein, how can it be recommended”

      Hi Bappa , 100 gms of oats has 13 gms protein. hence it is not a significant source of protein. but only of a complex carb. Secondly we are avoiding those protein foods that contain purine. Which is normally a component of animal protein. luckily purine is not present in oats. hence it is safe for consumption in high uric acid. Dont worry . i would never plan for a diet that would raise your issues. But only solve your issues. Please feel free to ask any further queries that you may have,
