Can people with high uric acid eat soybean sprouts?
Disease description:
I actually quite enjoy eating soybean sprouts, as I think they are healthy. However, I have a personal history of high uric acid levels. I would like to ask, is it okay for someone with high uric acid to eat soybean sprouts?

If patients with high uric acid levels are in a stable phase of their condition, moderate consumption of soybean sprouts is generally acceptable, as proper intake typically does not significantly affect uric acid levels. Additionally, soybean sprouts are rich in nutrients and can help replenish essential nutrients for the body. However, if the condition is in an acute flare-up phase, especially when accompanied by gout symptoms, soybean sprouts should be avoided, as foods with moderate purine content may also affect uric acid metabolism to some extent, thereby worsening the condition. Patients with high uric acid should carefully choose their diet, follow the advice of doctors or nutritionists, maintain a low-purine diet, and have regular follow-up tests to monitor uric acid levels, allowing for timely adjustments in diet and treatment plans. If there are any concerns, it is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist promptly.
