What I can say about fiber at this point? It is a mandatory nutrient that should be the main part of your diet and should be considered an appealing remedy for various issues and conditions.
I always make sure that I get enough fiber each day. It helps me with the diet and it offers several benefits I will explain in detail below. Yes, it is a more important part of the diet than you can imagine.
But today, I am interested in links between gout and fiber. Are there any links, are there any benefits and should you use fiber more in your diet? The obvious answer is yes you should, but explaining why and how it will take some time.
Details about fiber
You must know that fiber isn’t digested by the digestive tract and it actually passes through the body in the same form. However, if you mix one type of fiber with water you will get a gel-alike solution.
Another mandatory fact I must add here is that there are two main types of fiber. The first type is known as soluble fiber and you can find it in oats, apples, beans, and all citrus fruit. This is the type of fiber that gets dissolved in water.
The second type is insoluble fiber. This type of fiber is responsible for eliminating the risk of constipation, getting regular bowel movements and so much more. Basically, it helps the food pass through the digestive tract.
The insoluble fiber can be found in most plants, potatoes, nuts and seeds, pasta, bread, cauliflower, broccoli and so much more. Keep in mind that almost all plant-based sources have both types of fiber in their composition.

Don’t forget that fiber has its effects on the sugar levels in the body and keeping them lower. Lower sugar means a lower level of uric acid, the compound we need as low as possible.
Gout patients should replace their protein-based diet for a fiber-based diet. What this means is that you should decrease the amount of red meat, white bread and etc. you should eat and opt for plants and vegetables in general.
