[Eating Fish on an Empty Stomach Could Lead to Gout]
In the weight loss crowd, there are many people who only eat vegetables and not rice. Some dieters like to eat on an empty stomach, especially fish, after exercising. However, this can lead to gout.
Gout is a disease caused by disorders in purine metabolism, resulting in increased uric acid in the blood and tissue damage. Most fish contain a high amount of purine. If you consume a large amount of purine-rich fish on an empty stomach without enough carbohydrates to break it down, the acid-base balance in the body will be disrupted, which can easily trigger or worsen gout in gout patients.
