Can people who suffer from gout eat Here’s the Doctor’s Advice

Jakarta –

Petai or Parkia Speciosa is scientifically a popular food in Indonesia. These special smelling grains are often eaten with main meals to enhance flavor.

Nevertheless, it is said to contain high levels of purine and is therefore dangerous if eaten by people with gout. What are the facts?

Inggrid Tania, Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Traditional Herbal Medicine Development Doctors (PDPOTJI) said that papaya contains high levels of purine, so people prone to gout or gout must be careful when eating it.

However, Dr. Ingrid said that this also depends on the sensitivity of the person’s condition.

“There are people who are susceptible to gout or gout, there are those who are not. So it really depends on the person,” he said when detikcom contacted him, Saturday (23/11/2024).

Dr. Inggrid said that people who suffer from gout can still eat food as long as they have to pay attention to their uric acid levels.

He recommends eating kisses in reasonable amounts and not too much, up to 3 full tablespoons per day.

If uric acid levels in the body are high, you should avoid eating foods that are high in purine such as peaches.

“But if the height is not too high, just a little high, that’s still fine. But yes, it goes back to how many pipes there are, also depending on how sensitive people are ,” he continued.

“So the control is individual, correct. If, for example, he is prone to a rapid increase in his uric acid, avoid it at first. But for example, if it does not rise too quickly, the He still has some uric acid to eat,” he said.

On the other hand, Dr. Ingrid said that there is a flavonoid compound in the package that can reduce the levels of uric acid in the body. Therefore, he said that consumption of food has positive and negative aspects.

“So, as long as the person is still normal, the uric acid level is not high,” he said.
