Can you eat pizza if you have gout?
Online Answer
The management of gout is focused on decreasing uric acid levels. Medication can be effect at doing this, but also avoiding anything that may increase uric acid levels (or the body's ability to excrete uric acid) can be helpful as well. Carbohydrates such as bread, pizza, and pasta do not increase uric acid levels.
