Is ketchup bad for gout

Answer 1

No there is no connection between gout and tomato's. as a mater of fact a reasonable amount o vegetable is good for gout.

Although this may be true for whole tomatoes I have personally had 2 bouts of gout brought on by drinking Tomato Juice. I have only just confirmed that tomato juice is a cause of gout today with a medical professional.

I have never had an attack of gout from eating whole tomatoes, tomato soup or tomato sauce; so it may be something to do with the processing of the tomato juice.

Other vegetables (fruits) that are bad for gout are asparagus, mangoes and mushrooms.

I later learned from my doctor that the blood pressure medicine I am taking can also cause gout by interacting with different foods, the doctor decided to put me on allopurinol to prevent futher gout attacks.
