Can people with gout eat red bean paste buns?

Gout patients can eat red bean buns, but should pay attention to moderate consumption and control the frequency. Red bean buns are nutritious and contain ingredients such as saponin, dietary fiber, and folic acid, which offer multiple health benefits, including diuresis, alcohol and toxin elimination, and improved bowel movement. However, the red bean filling in the buns is made from legumes, which are considered moderate-purine foods. Excessive consumption by gout patients may lead to increased uric acid levels, potentially triggering or worsening gout symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that gout patients consume red bean buns in small amounts only when their condition is stable and pay attention to their body's response. During acute gout attacks, red bean buns should be avoided as much as possible to prevent exacerbation of the condition. In addition, gout patients should maintain a low-purine diet, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently to promote uric acid excretion and help control their condition.
