Plain lo mein noodles are low in purines, but restaurant sauces often contain high-fructose corn syrup that raises uric acid.

Good
  • The noodles themselves are low-purine, so a vegetable-heavy version with a light, unsweetened soy sauce can be a reasonable option for gout.
Bad
  • Many lo mein sauces contain high-fructose corn syrup, which rapidly increases uric acid. Added pork, beef, or shrimp further raise the purine load.
