Savor London: A Gout-Safe Fine Dining Guide

As a gout sufferer, London's culinary landscape may seem like a minefield of tempting yet potentially painful choices. High-purine ingredients like red meat, seafood, and rich sauces lurk in gourmet dishes, threatening to trigger flare-ups. But with the mm food app, you can confidently explore the city's finest establishments without compromise. Here’s how to dine smartly.

Understanding Gout Triggers on Menus

Gout flares stem from excess uric acid, often caused by purine-rich foods. When dining out in London, watch for these common culprits:

  • đźš« Offenders: Organ meats, game, shellfish, gravy-based sauces, and alcohol (especially beer)
  • âś… Safer Choices: Chicken, plant-based dishes, eggs, low-fat dairy, and most vegetables

Translation barriers and vague menu descriptions complicate decisions—which is where mm food transforms your experience.
