No fish is high in purines and should definitely be avoided. This should not be confused with Omega3 fish oil capsules as they are helpful with gout and as a natural pain killer.

Can low potassium cause gout?

Eating acidic foods usually cause the gout. Eating foods that are high in purine causes gout. Diuretics like coffee can also cause gout. When you drink a lot of coffee, you go to the bathroom a lot. Going to the bathroom a lot causes the loss of potasium. Being low in potassium could be a part of gout, but it is these other foods that cause the loss of potassium. Bananas, white potatoes and strawberries are very high in potassium. So eat those. Cherry's, sweet or sour are also very good at curing gout.

I don't think it should. I have been told that it is cheap fish dyed red. This persons answer was irresponsible and could cause someone a problem.

Depending on the company it can be flavored with real crab broth made from boiling the crab shells. When I eat it my lips itch and I get hives on my face. It took me three tries before I realized what caused the problem. If you have a problem with shellfish it is best not to eat the imitation either.
