Restricted Purine Recipes

Purines are compounds that occur naturally in foods like red meat, mackerel, sardines, and shellfish such as mussels or scallops. Your body breaks purines down into uric acid. If you have gout or kidney stones, too much uric acid in your blood can increase the frequency and severity of your symptoms. Your doctor may place you on a low-purine diet to prevent this from happening, or to lower your risk of developing gout.
