It is mandatory to say that only low-purine foods should be\nconsumed if you suffer from gout. Mid-range purine count foods should be\nconsumed in moderation while those high in purines must be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend you to search the purine count of a specific food, you\nare trying to eat and only then act accordingly. You do not want to increase\nthe purine intake because you will increase the production of uric acid and\ntherefore cause a gout flare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some foods you should avoid include seafood, sardines, bonito, mussels, herring and organ meats (all of them). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what about gout and peanut butter? This is a popular food all over the globe and it does deserve your attention. The short answer is yes, you can eat peanut butter even if you have gout. More on the topic follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is peanut butter? How we make it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, peanut butter is made from peanuts<\/a>. They are roasted at 240 degrees Celsius and then they are rapidly cooled, so the cooking of the peanuts stops as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then they are processed in such a way that the kernels and skin\nare removed and you get free peanuts from peanuts. Human products do not\ncontain either of these parts. They are sold for animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step involves grinding the peanuts and adding oils, salt<\/a> and also sugar<\/a>. This creates the paste we know as peanut butter. The entire process is done slowly, so the peanuts are not overheated and therefore eliminate the risk of additional cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, most peanut butter products you can find in grocery stores contain 0 of cholesterol, a few carbs and also a low amount of fiber. But, peanut butter is also rich in antioxidants, gout sufferers do need<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is peanut butter bad for gout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can eat peanut butter if you have gout. This food is low in purines and it contains plenty of vitamins and compounds we do need<\/a>. However, if you are allergic to peanut you must avoid it at all costs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The direct link between gout and peanut butter is small. What this means is that you cannot expect massive improvement or use peanut butter for pain relief. Basically, this food helps your body work properly. Thanks to this, the level of uric acid is kept as low as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Peanut butter and protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more important is that peanut butter contains healthy proteins<\/a> and the types we, gout sufferers do need. It should be used as a replacement for other protein sources that are far from good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you replace the protein intake with peanut butter, you can expect to decrease the risk of another gout flare. Yes, it is paired with vitamins as well, which will help your body develop proper levels of hormones and also to promote healthy body processes inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I must add that peanut butter should be consumed by gout patients in moderation. Although it doesn\u2019t have negative effects on the condition itself, it is rich in calories and it can contribute to weight gain. All gout sufferers must keep their weight at optimal numbers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to consume peanut butter if you suffer from gout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can consume peanut butter in moderate amounts literally in any\nform you like. If you like it on the slice of bread, go for it. This is\nprobably the most popular way how we consume it and I will claim that it is the\nbest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, you can spear peanut butter on a rice cake and add banana slices on the top. This is also my favorite meal and I love it. Also, bananas are good for gout sufferers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can consume it in other ways as well. Just keep in mind that you should avoid ingredients that are high in purines. It is easy to overlook them and as such, it isn\u2019t a wise decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that gout and peanut butter can be mixed together. You should not expect some massive improvements for gout attacks risk and you cannot use it for managing pain. On the other hand, we have a better protein source and we have no side effects of any kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
