Can I drink lemon water for gout?

Gout patients can drink lemon water. Lemon water is mainly made from lemons, which are fruits with low purine content. The purine level in lemons is low per 100 grams and generally will not significantly affect the uric acid levels in patients with gout. In addition, lemon water also contains abundant vitamins, organic acids, amino acids, minerals, and other nutrients, helping to replenish the body's need for fluids and nutrients. Drinking lemon water in moderation can promote the excretion of uric acid, help reduce blood uric acid levels, and thus benefit gout patients. However, gout patients should also drink lemon water in moderation to avoid discomfort such as excessive stomach acid and stomach pain caused by excessive consumption. Meanwhile, avoid adding sugar-containing substances such as sucrose or honey to lemon water, to prevent adverse effects on blood glucose and uric acid levels.
