Table No. 6. Menu for Gout and Urolithiasis

Table No. 6 — one of the fundamental diets developed for patients suffering from kidney dysfunction. What will you learn in this book?

Diet No. 6 is suitable both during periods of stable remission and phases of non-exacerbation, and if necessary, the doctor adjusts the rigidity of the restrictions. Our book helps organize daily nutrition within the prescribed guidelines. An important rule: first boil the products. This technological rule allows for reducing the load without radically rejecting animal protein. After such a step, the product can be baked, stewed, or carefully brought to readiness. The broths themselves are not used. Vegetables, milk, a number of fruits, and alkaline mineral waters help maintain the desired urine reaction and contribute to the excretion of urates. Hence, the emphasis on vegetable side dishes and soups, on dairy drinks and kissels, on adequate hydration throughout the day. For the drinking regimen, choices with proven benefits have been selected: water, weak tea, compotes without excessive sugar, decoctions of rose hips and bran, alkaline mineral waters. This set works towards the overall goal of the diet without overloading metabolism.
