Everything you wonder
about gout — and the app.

No food is completely off-limits — it's the quantity that matters. Some foods very high in purines raise uric acid faster and are worth limiting:

• Red meats: beef, lamb, pork
• Organ meats: liver, kidneys, sweetbreads (very high in purines)
• Seafood: anchovies, sardines, mackerel, mussels, shrimp
• Game: venison, wild boar, pheasant
• Alcohol: beer in particular, as well as spirits
• Sugary drinks: sodas and juices high in fructose
• Concentrated meat broths

Lean on low-purine foods to keep your uric acid under control:

• Dairy: skimmed milk, plain yogurt, fromage blanc (proven protective effect)
• Fruit: cherries (anti-inflammatory), bananas, apples, oranges
• Vegetables: all are fine, even those high in plant purines
• Whole grains: brown rice, wholemeal bread and pasta
• Eggs: very low in purines
• Poultry: chicken, turkey, in moderation
• Water: 2 to 3 liters a day to flush out uric acid

In the app, each food is scored and counted toward your daily purine budget — the goal isn't to forbid, but to balance.

Foods are ranked by their purine content, with the same color code as in the app:

The anti-gout diet rests on 5 pillars — about balance, not deprivation:

8 natural levers, backed by science:

• Hydration: 2 to 3 L of water a day
• Cherries: 10 to 12 a day lower flare risk
• Coffee: regular intake is linked to lower uric acid
• Vitamin C: helps flush out uric acid
• Weight loss: every kilo lost counts
• Less fructose: limit sodas and sugary juices
• Dairy: 2 to 3 servings a day
• Physical activity: ~30 min a day

During an acute flare, the right reflexes:

In the app, log your flare (intensity, affected joints, triggers, photo) then export a PDF report for your doctor.★ Premium

Gout-Cha! brings all your gout tracking into one app, guided by Cha!, your AI assistant:

• Talk to Cha! — log meals, water or a flare in natural language, and ask about purines.
• Photo scan — snap your plate: foods and purines are calculated automatically.
• Full tracking — diet (400 mg purine/day budget), hydration, flares, medications with reminders, and uric acid.
• Charts & AI insights — your weekly trends, and a PDF report for your doctor.
• Badges — droplet-shaped medallions to celebrate your progress.

Cha! is the app's AI assistant — a little purple water droplet that's with you every day. You talk to it naturally to log a meal, your hydration or a flare, and it answers your questions about foods and purines. Caring, never guilt-inducing.

Yes. The photo scan identifies the foods on your plate and automatically estimates their purine content. You can then adjust the quantities before adding the meal to your journal.

Yes. Add your treatments (allopurinol, febuxostat, colchicine…) and turn on dose reminders so you never miss one again.

Yes. For each flare, log the intensity, the affected joints, the likely triggers and even a photo. The app cross-references this with your diet to reveal your patterns over the weeks.
