Can patients with gout drink black rice porridge?

Gout patients can consume black rice porridge, but should do so in moderation and pay attention to their individual digestive conditions. As a low-purine food, black rice porridge does not significantly increase uric acid levels in the body and is suitable for consumption by gout patients. Black rice is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, and various nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which can provide essential nutritional support to the body. The texture of black rice used in the porridge tends to be hard, and excessive consumption may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion, bloating, abdominal pain, and other symptoms. Therefore, gout patients should control the amount consumed when eating black rice porridge, especially those with weaker gastrointestinal digestive function should be more cautious. At the same time, gout patients should also maintain a low-purine diet, drink plenty of water, and control total calorie intake to promote uric acid excretion and manage their condition effectively.
