Read More »Share on Pinterest Catherine Falls Commercial/Getty Images Over 9 million Americans have gout, a painful form of arthritis that causes your joints to become inflamed and swollen. Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. Some foods can increase the levels of uric acid in your blood and cause gout flares. Research suggests that tomatoes are one food that can raise uric acid for some people. Read on to learn more about the pros and cons of tomatoes for people with gout. Can tomatoes cause gout flares? There have been some reports showing a link between tomatoes and gout flares. Research shows that people who eat more tomatoes tend to have higher levels of uric acid, a known cause of gout flares. However, this isn’t the case for everyone with gout. Your genetics and overall health can make a bigger difference in how foods such as tomatoes trigger gout. That means that tomatoes could cause a gout flare in one person, but not cause any reaction at all in another. Additionally, research has found that most serum uric acid (500-600 mg/day) comes from sources within your body, while a smaller portion (100-200 mg/day) comes from eating purine-containing foods. This is why cutting out foods that cause uric acid production may help control flare-ups for some people, but other people won’t feel a difference no matter what foods they eat. Carefully tracking the food you eat and paying attention to any gout flares that follow can help you determine if tomatoes, or any other foods, are triggers for you. How to know if tomatoes are a gout trigger for you Keeping a food journal can help you know if tomatoes trigger your gout. You can eliminate tomatoes from your diet for a few weeks and track your symptoms. Tomatoes might be triggering your gout if your symptoms improve when you remove them from your diet. Keep a detailed record that includes: everything you eat each day
