Lo Mein

With moderation
Food

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

Your feedback
Good for you

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 for you

Many lo mein sauces contain high-fructose corn syrup, which rapidly increases uric acid. Added pork, beef, or shrimp further raise the purine load.
