Question by Shaun T: Is it better to drink Cider (in moderation) than Lager or Beer if I occassionly suffer from Gout?

Best answer:

Answer by screamingfreedom
It is definitely better. High sugar drinks such as cider can have a negative effect on uric acid levels. Beer itself has two thinks going against it. Beer is not that low in purines and all alcohol effects the way your body processes purines. Alcohol actually causes your body to make more uric acid out of the purines.

If you are talking about a fermented cider then you should totally stay away from it as well

A friend of mine has his brought on by too much salt. I would say see what foods/seasonings or what have cause your flare ups and avoid those.

Never had it myself , but know those who did. I understand it comes from uric acid forming crystals in the flesh and causes hellacious pain. I am told cherries, cherry juice, cranberries and cranberry juice is a good remedy for the gout. My buddy found out he got it from drinking beer, and a fair amount of it. His darling bride said” maybe you should stop drinking”, his immediate and firm reply was ” it don’t hurt THAT bad”. He is funny. And sore.
