Including specific dietary additions can assist the body in filtering out uric acid before it has a chance to settle. Soluble fiber, found in things like oats and beans, can bind with uric acid in the digestive tract and prevent it from being reabsorbed into the blood. In 1859, the link between uric acid and gout was first proven, leading to a century of research on how hydration and diet influence how the body handles these crystals. The Goutsnap app makes it simpler to watch these interactions daily. It is a lot easier to eat a bowl of oats than it is to deal with a midnight flare-up.\n#goutsupport #uricacid #purinetracker #goutdiet #healthyeating #jointhealth #goutsnap #goutsupport #uricacid #purinetracker #goutdiet #healthyeating #jointhealth #goutsnap - @dr.james.gout
