Can people with gout eat sesame paste?
Disease description:
My father was recently diagnosed with gout, and now there are many dietary restrictions. Yesterday I wasn't careful and let him eat some sesame paste. I would like to ask, can someone with gout eat sesame paste?
Gout patients can consume sesame paste, but should carefully control the amount and timing of consumption. Sesame paste is made from roasted and ground sesame seeds and is nutritionally rich, containing beneficial components such as protein and dietary fiber. The purine content of sesame paste is moderate, with approximately 60–80 mg of purines per 100 grams. During acute gout attacks, patients are advised to avoid consuming sesame paste to prevent exacerbation of symptoms. During gout remission or chronic stages, patients may consume small amounts of sesame paste to supplement essential nutrients. When consuming sesame paste, gout patients should follow their physician's advice and adjust the amount and timing according to their individual condition to avoid affecting uric acid levels and disease stability. At the same time, maintaining a low-purine diet, drinking plenty of water, and frequent urination can help control gout symptoms.
