Brief Answer: Precautions you should take- Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query. Beside taking medicine to control hyperurecemia, some dietary changes should be made. I suggest you to eat or drink: Low-fat dairy products Foods made with complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, brown rice, oats, and beans Coffee (may lower serum uric acid levels) Vitamin C (500 mg per day may mildly lower uric acid levels) I advice you to- drink plenty of water and fluids, maintain an ideal body weight, lose weight if overweight because the extra load on your joints may be exacerbating your symptoms. Avoid eating foods high in purines. For pain control you can take anti-inflammatory drug after consulting your doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Brief Answer: No any harm to take beans. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for your query again. Not all purine-rich foods were associated with an increased risk of gout. There was no increased risk associated with a diet that included the following foods which are considered high in purines: peas beans mushrooms cauliflower spinach So there is no any harm to take beans. If there s acute attack of gout then NSAIDS or Cholchicine are prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation. For chronic gout symptoms, I generally prescribe allopurinol( Zyloric) or febuxostat to my patients. Best wishes.
