Une banane par jour éloigne la goutte !
Les bananes sont originaires d'Asie du Sud-Est, en particulier de Malaisie, il y a environ 4000 ans, avant de se propager aux Philippines et en Inde. Aujourd'hui, les Amériques sont les plus grands producteurs de bananes, introduites ici par les explorateurs portugais, principalement cultivées au Brésil, au Costa Rica et au Mexique. Les bananes sont un type de fruit unique qui a une chair crémeuse, ferme et sucrée, et qui peut être récolté toute l'année.
Une banane contient environ 105 calories et est faible en sucre mais très riche en vitamines B6, vitamine C, fibres, magnésium, acide folique et potassium, ce qui est très bénéfique pour les personnes souffrant de la goutte et devrait faire partie de votre alimentation quotidienne. Personnellement, je mange une banane par jour sans faute. Les bananes sont l'une des meilleures sources de potassium, contenant plus de 400 mg de potassium et seulement 1 mg de sodium. Elles peuvent vous aider à maintenir une pression artérielle normale, une fonction cardiaque saine et des niveaux d'acide urique sains.
Les bananes peuvent aider à convertir l'acide urique en forme liquide qui peut ensuite être filtré par les reins et excrété dans votre urine, ce qui peut aider à éviter la cristallisation dans vos articulations et causer des symptômes de goutte. De plus, une banane contient environ 24 mcg de folate ou d'acide folique qui peut également aider à contrôler les niveaux d'acide urique ainsi qu'à réparer les tissus endommagés dans les articulations. De plus, elles contiennent environ 10,3 mg de vitamine C qui peut également aider à maintenir des niveaux d'acide urique sains et soulager les symptômes de la goutte..
Un plan alimentaire contre la goutte est essentiel!
Cependant, les bananes ne peuvent pas vaincre la goutte seules, un régime alimentaire contre la goutte comprenant des fruits frais, des légumes, des céréales complètes, une faible teneur en protéines/purines et en matières grasses est essentiel! Je connais des personnes souffrant de la goutte qui affirment avoir mangé environ 8 bananes par jour pendant 3 à 4 jours lors d'une crise de goutte pour soulager les symptômes et ont confirmé que cela fonctionne rapidement. Quoi qu'il en soit, assurez-vous de manger au moins une banane par jour pour aider à contrôler les niveaux d'acide urique qui peuvent aider à éviter ces douloureuses crises de goutte. À noter, les bananes sont également alcalines par nature.
Pour consommer au mieux des bananes, assurez-vous qu'elles soient bien mûres pour bénéficier de la plupart des antioxydants. Des recherches menées par l'Université d'Innsbruck en Autriche ont montré que les fruits presque trop mûrs ont la plus forte concentration d'antioxydants et que les niveaux augmentent en fait à mesure qu'ils mûrissent.
L'une de mes façons préférées de manger une banane est avec du beurre de cacahuète et 2 tranches de pain complet sous forme de sandwich au beurre de cacahuète et à la banane. C'était la nourriture préférée d'Elvis et est largement considéré comme un plat réconfortant pour les enfants et les adultes, certains ajoutent même du miel dans le sandwich pour le sucrer! J'ajoute également de la banane dans mon gruau parfois pour le petit déjeuner ou je la mange simplement. Dans certains pays, notamment dans les îles des Caraïbes, les bananes utilisées pour la cuisine peuvent être appelées plantains et c'est délicieux lorsqu'elles sont cuites au four. Quelle que soit la manière dont vous préférez la manger, assurez-vous qu'elle figure sur votre liste d'épicerie chaque semaine.

Bonjour
Je suis un Canadien âgé de 54 ans je souffre de goutte j’ai pris Colchichine et allupurinol depuis 5 ans mais je fais toujours de crise. Je ne mange pas de viande, mais je prends quelques fois un à deux verres de vin. C’est ce qui fait que je connais toujours ces crises? Aussi, je suis pêcheur je mange assez de poisson carpe ces poissons ne sont-ils pas à l’origine des crises de goutte qui me dérangent deux à trois fois dans un moi. SVP répondez moi
Au debut des fois c’est normal de effectuez des crises parce que les crystaux fondrent. Essaye d’arrêter de boire de l’alcool pour les prochains mois and essay de limitez la viande et le poisson, pas besoin de manger plus que 4 a 6 onces par jour.
Hi, I suffered back pain when I was 18 yrs old and now I’m 23 but I didn’t notice that as time goes by my joints and fingers are aching. I thought it was an ordinary pain, then yesterday I found out that I have a high uric acid in my laboratory test, may I ask if bananas are good to lower my uric acid? so that I will add it on my diet plan. Thank you!
Hi Irene!
Did you read the article? Bananas are fine in a gout diet. I have one every other day.
[…] Gout and Bananas […]
I eat 6 bananas a day, my diet consists of salads and chicken and a few eggs on the weekend. I’m on 300mg of allopurinol a day and suffer from attacks all the time, don’t drink, don’t smoke, no pork or red meats. I wish the doc could figure this out, had this since I was 26. I’m 49 now.
Hi Rob!
If your doctor can’t figure it out, seek the advice of 2 qualified rheumatologists instead, specialists in arthritic conditions like gout. See what they say and take it from there. Sounds that you might need to increase your allopurinol dosage.
High fructrose and sugar and caffeine cause gout, as well. It’s not only one thing that can throw the body off balance.
I’m in the same boat as you.
Take a fast from all sugars, fruits, and caffeine for a week and do a baking soda flush with lemons or limes(0 fructrose)
then add LOW fructrose fruit, slowly.

Hi Spiro,
I had my first flare attack in 2014, was so unbearable that I had to go to the ER. Took some meds and went well, now it’s 2018 and all of a sudden I had a flare attack again. But this time took no meds and just overdose myself with vitamin C (3grams /day) and lots of water, Cherries and Celery too helped a lot in reducing the swelling and pain… thanks for your site.
What’s up Spiro!
My name is Sean and im very excited following your program.Thank you for the new new ebook!!! I was on a regiment no or very low sugar period, well in staying with that but im going to do your. 1 banana a day will keep gout away. That’s the highest sugar source for me.
I’m still reading the program and will probably have more questions. Thank you Spiro and have a great day!!!
No problem Sean and welcome aboard!!
Thank you so much for all the helpful advice on gout.
[…] Bananas Raise Uric Acid? […]
Spiro, I learned so much from this website since I had my first gout attack. I was limping from the car all the way to the doctor thinking it was simply a sprain. The more I read about it the more it hit me that this is a lifelong journey and that nobody else is responsible for my well being but me.
Anyhow, I guess what you have in the ebook is more informational than the website. Is there any chance for production of an actual book? Could be really useful on days where I don’t know what food to prepare based on what’s available
Cheers,
Angelo
Hi Angelo!
Yes my book is also available on Amazon.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi.
I’ve now had the stiff ankle for the last 10 days. It sometimes gets slightly better then start to hurt again. I am taking Naproxen and have been drinking 3 litres of water a day. I have been taking sodium bicarbonate. Is there anything else you can suggest please. I haven’t touched meat for the last 7 days or alcohol.
I’ve tried sodium bicarbonate. I am eating brown pasta, potatoes, brown rice every day. Bananas. Apples. 2 cups cofee.
Regards.
Hi Harry!
We are all different. If your condition is worse or at a higher degree compared to somebody else, then it’s very possible that there’s nothing more that you can do diet-wise. Go see your doctor and see what he/she recommends. The truth is you must always continue to eat well as you are doing cause you don’t want to complicate your gout with other related diseases that you are at a higher risk of developing like diabetes, kidney stones, heart disease etc…
Hi.
I’m in the middle of a gout attack and was wondering what can I eat. I had some chicken yesterday and it seemed my ankle really swell up even more.
Regard
Hi Harry!
You want to eat more vegetables, whole grain breads, whole grain rice or pasta and drink only water. These are foods that won’t stress your liver and kidneys that much and burn clean. Water is key to flush uric acid as much as possible.
I am in the middle of a gout attack on my right heel. It’s painful but I can walk. I have had tumeric and water on an empty stomach. Then I had acv with warm water hour later. Followed by sodium bicarbonate. I’ve had 3 bananas and pineapple.
What else can I eat while on a attack. Please can you also tell me what else I can eat for the pain to subside.
I had a lot of processed meat last week while on holiday and 2 days ago my pain started. I firstly blamed it on a sweet potato I had but I have read sweet potatoes are good. Is this correct.
I appreciate all your help.
Regards.
Hi Harry!
Thank you for your comment!
Yes the processed meat sounds like the likely culprit for your attack. As for sweet potatoe, not really, it is a vegetable.

I have had gout for many years, my doctor put me on allopurinol one tablet a day but I still had some bad attacks, I decided to try taking 2 tablets on one day and one the next day, I kept this up and have never had another attack, my doctor was ok about me doing this and he prescribed the extra tablets for although I’m sure he didn’t like me self prescribing, I think sometimes you just have to think for yourself.
I get a gout attack every 5 years, want to
Know the secret?? 30 to 50 Mg of protein a day, no more than that. Cherries , ripe bananas 4 a day.
I was diagnosed with chronic gout three years ago and fell into the doctors pill regiment. The one pill that I will never go without is the one that removes the crystals once they have formed. My attacks are now fewer each year.
I am on the Caveman diet and watch what I eat on a regular basis. Bananas are around once in a while and I intend on keeping them around more often than not these days.
What drug removes crystals once they form?

I like banana sandwiches on rye with Organic Peanut Coconut Spread …it is a bit thinner than normal peanut butter..but to die for…
Ingredients:..Just Pure Organic Coconut and Peanuts…
I suffered with gout for many years, however; I haven’t had an attack in about 2 years. I stopped taking allopurinol and drinking ginger ale. I repaced my two to three glasses of ginger ale per day with water. Also, I eat at least one banana a day. Mt diet hasn’t changed as I eat high purine foods in moderation. Love those cherries…but..the washroom calls.
Found a book online a few years ago that was very helpful.
Steve
Beware Steve! I was in the same boat as you…last attack I had was over 2 years ago…brought on by a steak and lobster fest.
I am fit, slim, don’t smoke, exercise, and watch what I eat/drink. For no known reason, except that perhaps I had stop taking my daily 200mg Allopurinol about 2 months prior, I had a flare-up. I had stressed my big toe while working..banged it up a bit..but nothing else I can think of that could contribute.
My big toe joint suffered 40+years of soccer, and one 12v battery being dropped on it about 35 years ago..ya..ow. Like my doc said…i’m now paying the arthritic price.
Do ripened bananas have more sugar/fructose?
Yes David! But even still, the sugar/fructose from fruit in general is metabolized better compared to other foods.
How about eating bananas with Nutella?
Is chocolate bad too?
Nutella is full of sugar and it can aggravate your gout. See my post on sugar –>https://goutandyou.com/sugar-fructose-high-fructose-corn-syrup-and-gout/
Hello sir, I have acid I took so many pills but not help me n I working at gas station whole day stand job so at night it’s deadly pain in my foots some me that it’s gout or some uric acid before I got my blood report it’s said that it’s uric can tell how I can treat myself
Hi Ranjeet!
Go visit your doctor as soon as possible, all I can offer you is dietary and lifestyle advice which you can find here on this website and in my book.
Hi Ranjeet,
If your uric acid is in the 8 or higher range, do take colchicine (reduces inflammation, stop it when pain subsides) and 2 allopurinol tablets 2 x per day which reduces uric acid. Afterwards reduce to 2 allopurinol in the morning before meal. Put your feet up, and maybe buy a tube of voltaren gel. You, like I, live in Asia, where we can self-medicate from the pharmacy. Eat sensible, get turmeric powder and mix that with some milk or coconut milk, it will provide relief. Be well !
I use Brggs organic .non filtered AC with mother for gout..2 tbs in water twice a day..it really works…also soak a tissue in AC place on sore joint for 10 min…amazing relief
had gout flare ups 4 episodes within 4 months
