Uric Acid Low

Uric Acid Low helps you manage gout and uric acid with a diet-first approach. Search foods to quickly see their purine level (including low, medium, and higher options) and get guidance on what to avoid or limit during flare-ups.

Use the Food Search to check purine content by food name, then explore the Food List and Calculator for practical, day-to-day decisions. The Diet Planner helps you organize meals around lower-purine choices with the goal of supporting healthier uric acid levels.

Need context before you plan? The Guide and FAQs cover what purines are, which foods are commonly high in purines (like organ meats, certain seafood, and beer), and which options are often better tolerated (such as eggs and low-fat dairy). This tool is for reference only and isn’t medical advice—consult a clinician for personalized care.

How do I check if a food is safe for gout?

Search the food name to review its purine level and guidance for gout. Use the results to decide whether it fits into low-purine eating or should be avoided during flare-ups.

What does “purine” mean for gout and uric acid?

Purines are natural compounds found in many foods. When your body breaks down purines, it produces uric acid—higher levels can contribute to gout attacks and kidney stones.

Which foods should I generally avoid if I have gout?

Common guidance includes avoiding high-purine items such as organ meats, certain seafood (like anchovies, sardines, and scallops), alcohol—especially beer—and meat extracts. It’s also helpful to limit fructose-rich foods and sugary drinks.

Is chicken high in purine?

Chicken is typically considered a medium-purine food. Skinless chicken breast is often a safer choice than dark meat, and moderate intake during remission may be more appropriate than during active flare-ups.

Are eggs okay for people with gout?

Yes—eggs are very low in purine and can be a strong protein option. Egg whites are almost purine-free.

Can coffee fit into a gout-friendly diet?

Coffee is low in purine and may help reduce gout risk for some people. Keep it moderate and avoid adding excessive sugar.
