The “6 table” diet is used in the treatment of urological diseases. Indications for using the diet are:
- gout,
- urolithiasis with the formation of stones from uric acid (uraturia),
- uric acid diathesis,
- oxaluria,
- cystinuria.
The essence of the diet is to limit salts, proteins, fats and exclude products that contain extractive nitrogenous substances, purines and oxalic acid. The diet consists largely of vegetables, fruits and dairy products.
General characteristics of dietary table No. 6
Diet No. 6 satisfies human physiological needs for nutrients and energy, and is enriched with plant fiber. Nitrogenous extractives (purines), oxalic acid, and foods rich in essential oils are sharply limited. Meat, poultry and fish - no more than 3 times a week in small pieces. Food is prepared steamed, boiled and baked. Diet No. 6 provides for fractional meals 4-6 times a day. You must drink permitted drinks on an empty stomach and between meals.
What can you eat if you have gout?
The best diet for gout is a vegetarian diet. These are various vegetable and milk soups, fermented milk products, fruit infusions. From meat to diet for gout It is recommended to include primarily dietary species - chicken, turkey, rabbit. Chicken eggs, boiled fish, squid, and shrimp are allowed. When following a diet for gout, low-fat cottage cheese and dishes made from it, low-fat varieties of cheese are very useful. Porridges from various cereals and pasta are recommended. Porridge is cooked in diluted milk. Use whole milk with caution. Almost all types of vegetables are recommended - white cabbage, carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant. Somewhat limit cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, rhubarb, celery, peppers, radishes. Greens are useful, but green onions and parsley - in small quantities. Non-chocolate candies, jam, marmalade, marshmallows, and marshmallows are allowed as sweets. Fruits are very useful - apples, plums, pears, apricots, oranges, as well as various berries, all types of nuts, seeds. A diet for gout involves limiting salt intake. |
The gout diet allows the following drinks - green tea, tea with lemon, milk, chicory, rosehip infusions, wheat bran, fruit juices, berries, vegetables, fruit drinks, kvass, compotes. Drinks made from lingonberries and cranberries are especially valuable. Cucumber juice (up to 1 glass per day), alkaline mineral waters (low mineralized) help remove excess purines from the body.
White and black bread are allowed. Vegetable oil is better (olive, flaxseed is a must), but butter is limited.
When the disease worsens, meat and fish are limited or even completely eliminated, and every other day they arrange fasting days (fruit and vegetable days - 1.5 kg of permitted vegetables or fruits); curd-kefir (400 g low-fat cottage cheese +500 g kefir); milk or kefir (1 - 2 liters). This diet promotes alkalinization of urine and increases the solubility of uric acid.
Outside of an exacerbation, meat and fish are allowed (no more than 3 times a week), but only boiled ones, since more than half of the purine substances go into the broth. From boiled meat (fish) it is good to make cutlets, meatballs, soufflés; you can also steam and bake dishes. Vegetables and potatoes are boiled or steamed.
During all periods of the disease, gout diet No. 6 and periodic fasting days (compote, cottage cheese, milk, apple, carrot, watermelon) are recommended.

- offal, fatty and lean red meat - pork, beef, lamb;
- fatty sea and river fish - herring, salmon, mackerel;

- homemade and factory-made marinades, pickles and other preserves;

Nutritionists recommend not consuming or significantly limiting mushrooms in the daily menu. This is also true for asparagus, celery, radishes, bell peppers, cauliflower, legumes, and pasta.
Features of fasting days
The diet for gout excludes complete fasting, since it provokes an exacerbation of the disease. On fasting days, it is recommended to adhere to mono-diets (watermelon, potato, cucumber, carrot) or prepare salads, slices, stews from different types of vegetables and fruits.
The consumption of dairy products and cereals in small quantities is allowed. Fasting days on rice are popular: it is boiled in milk and eaten with the addition of a small amount of grated apple in small portions.
A fermented milk diet will help you quickly get rid of excess uric acid: it involves eating only cottage cheese (400 g) and kefir (0.5 l) during the day.

Patients with gout are prescribed fasting days, 1-2 times a week. To unload, you can choose one product and eat only it throughout the day. Low-fat or calcined cottage cheese is well suited for such purposes. On a fasting day, you need to consume 150 g of it every time you feel hungry. It is forbidden to completely starve, this leads to even greater accumulation of uric acid in the blood.
So, for uric acid diathesis and gout, table number 6 is used. The diet excludes foods that contain a lot of purines. The therapeutic menu consists of alkaline foods that help remove breakdown products of nitrogenous substances from the body.
