Low-Fat Dairy and Oils
Dairy products are generally good for people who have gout, provided these people are not lactose-intolerant. The reason is that dairy helps lower uric acid levels. You should prioritize low-fat types when consuming dairy. Low-fat dairy, in addition to helping lower uric acid levels, reduces inflammation [9] in the affected joints.
Ensure your diet contains enough oil if you have gout. Not all oils are created equally, so make sure you only use heart-friendly oils. Try flaxseed or olive oils, which can help you reduce the risk of inflammation. The best types of oils are those rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have a long list of health benefits and promote cardiovascular health in addition to providing gout relief.
Fatty or oily fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Studies show [10] that consuming these foods can help relieve inflammation and pain related to arthritic conditions.
