Is Wine OK for Gout?

Advice to avoid alcohol when you have gout has been around for a long time — even medical pamphlets from the 1800’s say it’s best for gout sufferers to stop drinking. However, one of the first large scale medical studies on alcohol and gout only took place in 2004! Published in The Lancet medical journal, the study followed over 47,000 male medical professionals with no history of gout for over 10 years. By the end of the study, an unlucky 2 percent of the men had begun experiencing attacks of gout.

What’s alcohol got to do with it? Men in study who drank the most alcohol daily had twice the risk of developing gout as men who did not drink. However, and this is a big however, beer drinkers increased their risk for gout by 50% for every daily serving, while those who drank hard liquor increased their risk by 15% for each drink.

 

Beer is Fear

But there was small piece of good news: Men in the study who drank wine only did not increase their risk for gout. Most of these wine drinking men had one or two glasses of vino daily.

Researchers have some ideas why beer is so bothersome for gout . . .  it could be due to beer’s relatively high purine content compared to wine and liquor, or it could have something to do with the high gluten content of beer that contributes to inflammation. Because alcohol is a diuretic, dehydration caused by excessive alcohol consumption could also be a contributing factor.

My tophi went away!!!

MY tophi went away!!!! It was there for a month, then it started leaking, i pressured it , rub it , and the clear gel came out then a little blood, now it’s gone, my finger looks normal (except for the inflammation it has). In January I changed my diet, no meat, very little chicken, lots of veggies, tofu, fish, and lots of alkaline water, lemons, and of course walking 3 or 4 times a day about 2 miles each, keeping busy yard work, washing my car, being positive, I took combination of Gout, Joint,kidney, liver, multi-vitamins, read a lot about gout in your blogs and website, all over, and prayed. My gout is gone, I just have arthritis on my fingers, sometimes my feet hurt when I walk , oh also no BEER, but I still have some now and then. I’m continuing everything I have done above, i’m not changing back to my old ways of eating and ‘couch potato’ ways. Thanks to you for inspiration too!!! I know people with Gout are far worse than I was and it was scary seeing those pics of their feet. PS: I never went to the Dr. and took any kind of Meds. ALSO I bought a ‘grounding mat’ , read about it, it works.  ~ Ruben

Wine is Fine (with moderation)

glass of red wineWhatever is behind this beer-gout connection, the results of this study led researchers to suggest that “individuals with gout should try to limit or even cut out their beer consumption, whereas wine may be allowed, given other health benefits associated with moderate alcohol consumption.”

Personally, I’ve noticed that beer is more likely to bring on gout than wine. I can (and occasionally do) drink a ton of wine and can get away with no gout “close-encounters.” But if I have a big beer night, I know that trouble is going to follow.

According to the Mayo Clinic, resveratrol in red wine helps prevent damage to blood vessels, reduces “bad” cholesterol and prevents blood clots. This is what makes red wine a “heart healthy” drink of choice.

 

What Type of Wine Should I Buy?

In my opinion, there is only ONE type of wine fit for a gout killer:  Dry Farm Wine.  DFW is an online mail order club that searches the world over to find and bring us the “cleanest” wines (no pesticides, herbicides, additives, GMOs, etc). But the most important feature of DFW for gout killers is that each batch is tested and proven to have statistically ZERO sugar.  And sugar is the enemy, especially when it comes to gout.

Thanks for all the info on Gout. I cant drink wine or beer as I get the usual flare ups from gout. And Rosalia. My cocktail is Ibuprofen with a glass of water-pretty exciting,but it doesnt cause flare ups and rests the muscles a lot. Big Saturday night for me.

For many years now, I have always felt like the “too much red meat and beer” explanation for #gout was not the answer. High purines foods are part of the problem, yes, but there is something fundamentally flawed with the concept... buff.ly/2DoAAqh ... See MoreSee Less

#Gout again? (!) So you live in the city – cool . . . fast pace, busy life, lots of cars, bad air, fast food, heavy stress. “Acid” finds us in the most unusual ways . . . and uric acid is just one of those acids. Embrace “change” . . . ... See MoreSee Less

It got me thinking about how much #gout has kept me from in the past. In the past, you know, I used to always be afraid that I might wake up on a 22-inch-powder day and be unable to put my ski boots on. buff.ly/2VfnR0s ... See MoreSee Less
