Thanks for the invite!

The main thing to look at to see if pig's blood can be given to gout patients is the purine content in it, and there is no getting around that.

Purine to uric acid conversion

Purine nucleotides are hydrolyzed to nucleosides by nucleotidase, which are then broken down into bases and ribose, and ultimately into uric acid, which is excreted in the urine. Almost all purine compounds in mammals are metabolically oxidized to uric acid.

The source of purine is divided into endogenous purine 80% from the oxidative decomposition of nucleic acids, exogenous purine mainly from food intake, accounting for 20% of the total purine, so the more genetic material contained in the ingredients, the higher the relative content of purine.

Purine content of pig's blood

It may be easier to visualize this by simply comparing some commonly used ingredients, especially some vegetables that are considered low in purines.

Ingredients Purine content (mg/1 hundred grams of food)

Boar's blood 1.18

Cabbage 0.97

Celery 0.87

Leek 2.50

韭黄 1.68

Chili peppers 1.42

Green Onion 1.30

菠菜 1.33

Shepherd's purse 1.24

Bitter melon 1.13

Cucumber 1.60

Luffa 1.14

Taro 1.01

Chinese cabbage 1.26

Eggplant 1.43

Sherry Red 2.44

Cauliflower 2.5

Through the above comparison, it is obvious to see that, although pig's blood as an animal ingredient, but its purine content and we often eat bitter melon, cucumber, capers and so on about the same, or even lower. So gout patients can eat pig's blood, of course, everything has a degree, in moderation!

Purine-rich foods that are easy to overlook

Gout patients are well aware that the diet should minimize seafood, fish and animal offal to avoid aggravating the symptoms of gout.

But the following foods, which are also high in purines, are often overlooked.

1. Neglected foods high in purines: chicken essence (50.0), asparagus (50.0), nori (27.4), shiitake mushrooms (21.4).

2. Sprouted legumes, such as soybean sprouts (50.0).

3. Most seed-based ingredients, such as black beans (13.7), peanuts (9.5), and mung beans (7.5).

4. Others: ginkgo (9.9), kelp (9.7).

Note: The above figures in parentheses are the average purine content (mg/1 hundred grams of food) contained.

People with gout can eat pig's blood.

Pig's blood also contains purines, 100 grams contain 11.8 mg of purines, belong to the low purine food, so, whether in the acute stage of gout or remission, can be used normally.

Gout is a group of diseases caused by impaired purine metabolism and/or decreased uric acid excretion, whose metabolite uric acid accumulates in the blood and causes tissue damage due to plasma uric acid concentration exceeding the saturation limit. Hyperuricemia is one of its clinical manifestations and is the most important diagnostic basis for gout. Typical gout has four stages: (1) asymptomatic hyperuricemia; (2) acute gouty arthritis; (3) intermittent stage; (4) gout stones and chronic gouty arthritis. Gout is also associated with kidney stones and kidney disease.

Nutritional therapy is one of the gout treatments. Among them is the choice of low purine foods, which can reduce the intake of exogenous uric acid (food intake). Since exogenous uric acid accounts for 20% of the total uric acid in the body (the remaining 80% is synthesized by the body itself), strict dietary control can only result in a decrease of uric acid by 10-20 mg/liter, which has a limited effect on the improvement of hyperuricemia, and coupled with advances in pharmacological treatments, which have now beenNot advocated for long-term useseverityPurine-restricted diets(i.e., just limit your intake of high-purine foods for a long period of time).

In the acute phase, purine intake should be strictly limited to 150 mg/day, and only low purine foods (less than 50 mg per 100 g of food) should be chosen. When you enter remission, you do not need to be so strict and can choose foods with medium purine content (50-150 mg of purine per 100 g of food). See the accompanying chart for food groups with different purine contents.

Pig's blood is a low purine food and can be used by gout patients.

Low purine food choices should be accompanied by a sensible diet, appropriate body weight, good eating behaviors and lifestyle in order to most effectively prevent gout. If you still have questions, please @NutritionPundit, we are happy to help you.

Thanks for the reply. I knew when I saw the title that this was another gouty food lover. Gout is a metabolic disorder, a crystal-associated arthropathy caused by urate deposition, associated with disturbances in purine metabolism and decreased uric acid excretion. It is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Pig's blood, commonly known as blood tofu, known as "liquid meat", has the effect of replenishing blood and nourishing skin. Pig's blood is rich in vitamins, protein and other nutrients. According to the compendium of materia medica, pig's blood is salty in taste and flat in nature, and can be used to produce blood, for stroke, bruises and so on. Pig's blood contains a large amount of protein, and the proportion of amino acids in its protein is close to the proportion of amino acids in the human body, which is easy to be utilized by the organism, therefore, the protein of pig's blood is the most easily digested, absorbed and utilized in animal food. The low fat content is another characteristic of pig's blood, so pig's blood is low-calorie and low-fat food. In addition, pig's blood contains essential inorganic salts, such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, etc., as well as trace elements of iron, zinc, copper, manganese are also more. Pig's blood is very rich in iron, twice as much as pig's liver, 18 times higher than eggs, 20 times higher than lean meat, and pig's blood iron ions and iron ions in the body of the same valence, easier for the body to absorb and utilize the iron absorption rate can be as high as 22% or more. Iron is an important element needed for hematopoiesis, so anemia patients often eat pig's blood can play a role in replenishing blood. Gout diet is usually divided into three categories, high purine, medium purine, low purine diet. Every 100 grams of food purine content less than 50 mg of food for low purine food. Pig blood contains 11.8mg of purine per 100g. It is a low purine food. Therefore, gout patients can eat. Although the content is small, but not equal to no, so gout patients if you want to eat, should also be moderate, should not be used more. However, it is best not to consume pig's blood during a gout attack.

Pig's blood, also known as pig red, blood tofu, has the effect of blood beauty, is a lot of people love to eat food. Some gout patients are worried that eating pig's blood will affect their condition, so for gout patients, pig's blood can not eat? What not to eat?

Can gout sufferers eat pig's blood?

For gout patients, pig's blood can be eaten. Pig's blood is rich in vitamin B2, vitamin C, protein, iron, phosphorus, calcium, niacin and other nutrients. And gout is caused by too high purine in the body, to limit the food containing too high purine. Pork blood, duck blood, eggs, duck eggs, dairy products and other purine content is low, are low purine food, gout patients can eat.

It is important to note that pig's blood is no longer good enough to be consumed in excess, because the blood also contains metabolic wastes (including hormones, drugs, urea, etc.), a large amount of consumption will affect the health of the body, and it is recommended that it be consumed no more than 2 times a week.

What can't gout sufferers eat?

Gout in the diet should be light, dietary principles "a limit of three low" that is, limit purine, low calorie, low fat, low protein diet. In the acute attack period should be used in the basic purine-free or purine-containing very little food. In gout remission, can use a small amount of purine-containing food. Foods high in purines include animal offal, seafood or shellfish such as abalone, crab, lobster, salmon, sardines, tuna, carp, sea bass, trout, cod, meats such as beef, lamb, duck, goose, pigeon, soy foods, lentils, spinach, cauliflower, asparagus, mushrooms, gumbo, and whey.

Gout patients should rationalize their dietary structure, drink more water, urinate more, and exercise more to promote the elimination of uric acid. This will prevent and delay complications and improve the quality of life.

Many people will have this question, all think that pig's blood is an animal ingredient, will it aggravate the condition of gout patients after consumption?

However, the amount of purine contained in pig's blood is actually not high, so there is no problem for gout patients to eat some pig's blood in their normal daily life.

Purines in the body oxidize into uric acid, and the main cause of gout is high uric acid levels caused by abnormal uric acid metabolism. Patients eat mainly depends on the high purine content of food. Pig blood contains protein, vitamins and iron and other nutrients, but the amount of purine is not high, so gout patients can eat pig blood.

But no matter what the food, it is necessary to control the amount of eating, although gout patients are allowed to consume pig's blood, but pig's blood also contains a lot of metabolic waste, eat more is also not conducive to human health.So too much of a food that is even low in purines can have some negative effects.

In addition to the use of drugs to treat the disease, gout patients can also control the gout condition through a reasonable diet structure and good lifestyle habits, for example:

1, the taste of food should be light, spicy and stimulating food to eat less, like broccoli, bananas and celery this kind of vegetables and fruits can be eaten more, help gout patients will be the body of excess uric acid discharge.

2, eat less high-fat food, like animal offal, sea fish and shrimp and crab and other such food to eat less.

3, gout patients should drink more water, drink more water can produce a lot of urine, urine can take away excess uric acid in the body.

In daily life, it is best for gout sufferers to take medication and eat strictly according to the advice of their medical professionals in conjunction with their own conditions.

I am Blessed Dad, a clinical dietitian specializing in weight management, nutritional treatment of diseases, and maternal and infant nutrition, and I hope my answers are useful to you.

When I saw the title, I guessed that the subject must be a food-loving gout sufferer 😄

Pig's blood has an important place in Chinese cuisine, it is called "blood tofu". The biggest nutritional value of pig's blood is that it is rich in heme iron, which is an excellent ingredient for replenishing iron and blood. At the same time, pig blood contains high quality protein, fat content is not high. So, can gout patients eat pig's blood?

Gout is a disease caused by a disorder of purine metabolism related to genetics and lifestyle. The metabolism of purines produces uric acid, and the excessive production and decreased excretion of uric acid, leading to a long-term increase in uric acid in the blood is the key reason for the occurrence of gout. In the human body, 80% of purines are endogenous purines formed by cellular metabolism, and 20% are exogenous purines ingested through food. In the case of gout patients endogenous purine is difficult to change for a while, with food eaten exogenous purine is very critical. So gout patients know, must not eat high purine food, or gout attack is not fun.

The main factor that determines whether or not a gout sufferer can eat pig's blood then is the purine content of pig's blood. Fortunately, pig's blood is a low purine food! Every 100 grams of pig's blood contains 11.8 milligrams, which is still relatively low. Therefore, gout patients can eat pig's blood 😄.

Of course, like all foods, pig's blood should not be overdone. For gout patients, eating more vegetables, drinking more water, avoiding high-purine foods, not drinking alcohol, moderate exercise, a multi-pronged approach can effectively prevent gout attacks.

I'm FooDad, a clinical dietitian, if you find my answers useful, why not follow my headline for more nutrition and health information? Any questions about gout can also be discussed in the comments, happy to share my expertise 🙂 .

Gout is a disease caused by a genetically related disorder of purine metabolism. Long-term increase of uric acid in the blood is the key reason for the occurrence of gout, in addition to the body metabolism produced by uric acid, uric acid comes from dietary purine-rich foods. Therefore, gout patients should pay attention to eat less high-purine food, to promote the excretion of uric acid in the body. Gout patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water and prohibit alcohol.

Pig's blood is a low purine food, containing 11.8 mg of purine per 100 grams of pig's blood. Gout patients, both in gout attack and remission, can eat pig's blood.

Pig's blood has high nutritional value. Pig blood has a high content of heme iron iron, per 100 grams of pig blood contains 8.7 mg of iron, and is easily absorbed by the body, it is good for the prevention of anemia, people with iron deficiency anemia can eat some pig blood to supplement iron; pig blood is also rich in minerals, per 100 grams of pig blood contains 4 mg of calcium, 16 mg of phosphorus, 56 mg of potassium, 56 mg of sodium, 5 mg of magnesium, 8.7 mg of iron, 0.28 milligrams of zinc.

Dr. Ma's Health Mission Master Student Choi Ho

First of all, the answer: in general, pig's blood belongs to the low purine food, eating pig's blood will not cause the rise of uric acid value in the body, so patients with high uric acid or gout can eat pig's blood. But do not rule out special circumstances, some non-specific gout patients, to certain foods will be particularly sensitive, if you eat pig's blood every time you will gout, of course, or not eat for good.

Nutritional value of pig's blood

Pig's blood is a nutritious ingredient, so pig's blood is also known as "liquid meat", it is rich in protein, amino acids, iron, B vitamins, niacin and other nutrients, and the purine content is much lower than meat, so it is very suitable for gout patients to supplement protein consumption.

In addition to replenishing protein, pig's blood is rich in iron, this biological iron is particularly suitable for the body to absorb, therefore, eat some pig's blood in moderation can also be iron deficiency anemia patients to supplement iron blood is very beneficial, it is worth noting that the pig's blood does not contain vitamin C, for vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron in the body, therefore, patients with anemia to eat pig's blood at the same time, it is best to eat at the same time, eat some fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, blood supplementation can be twice as effective. Vegetables, blood can be twice as effective.

Although pig's blood is good, but also pay attention to pig's blood in the cholesterol content is high, in general, high blood fat, atherosclerosis friends are not recommended to eat too much pig's blood, there is also a point to note is that pig's blood eaten too much may lead to acne, so easy to acne body is not recommended to eat more pig's blood.

Dietary Precautions for High Uric Acid Gout Patients

It's a cliché, but it needs to be talked about. High uric acid gout patients should try not to eat high-purine foods, such as seafood shellfish, mackerel, sardines, hot pot gumbo and other foods, medium purine food can reduce the intake of low purine food can not have to be contraindicated.

There is a point to remind you, in many cases, patients who have had an attack of gout, in general, there are triggers, for patients with gout interval, in addition to must pay attention to lowering uric acid, control uric acid in a healthy range (preferably less than 360), but also should pay special attention to avoid the triggers of gout, such as some friends as soon as the drink of beer gout, some friends as soon as the drink of soya bean milk gout, some people as soon as the eating of bamboo shoots Gout, some people eat seafood gout, then you should avoid the intake of these foods from life, to avoid gout triggers.

In addition to dietary attention, moderate exercise, obesity control, avoiding cold and excessive fatigue can have effective prevention of gout attacks.

Gout is a recurrent inflammatory disease caused by increased purine biosynthesis metabolism, excessive production of uric acid or elevated uric acid in the blood due to poor uric acid excretion, and in other tissues. Gout patientsTake light and easy to digest food as the main, eat more vegetables, fruits, drink more water, eat more fish, eggs, soy products and increase calcium. Pepper, ginger, chili and other spicy things are best not to use; avoid partiality; avoid coffee, cocoa, tobacco, alcohol and other excitatory beverages; pay attention to rest, avoid overwork. Especially avoid high purine food, such as animal offal, bone marrow, seafood and so on.

但The proteins in pig's blood are decomposed by stomach acid, which can produce a disinfectant and laxative substance that can react biochemically with dust and harmful metal particles in the body and carry them out of the body.Gout patients can eat pig's blood, pig's blood, duck's blood, eggs. Duck eggs, dairy products and so on less purine content, are low purine food, gout patients can eat, is safer.

Whether you can eat pig's blood for gout depends on the situation, for example, if you usually eat meat without any problem, there is no problem at all to eat pig's blood. However, you need to control the total amount of meat and pig's blood per day, because pig's blood is mainly composed of hemoglobin, which also contains purines. However, if you are in the pre-gout attack or in the middle of the attack, then it is best to abstain from eating, otherwise it will accelerate the gout attack. Take myself as an example, because of gout and long-term abstinence from meat caused me serious malnutrition, either calcium deficiency or anemia. After November this year, anemia is becoming more and more serious, there is no way but to buy duck blood to eat, a day is a very small amount, and even eat two or three days after the gout attack, stop for a few days to wait for the gout attack is over and then eat for two days and then have an attack. Now I have gout attacks when I eat blood, and strong dizziness when I don't eat it, so I am suffering a lot.
