1 A substance (or ligand) is cholinergic if it is capable of producing, altering, or releasing acetylcholine (indirect-acting) or mimicking its behaviour at one or more of the body's acetylcholine receptor types (direct-acting).2  Such mimics are called parasympathomimetic drugs or cholinomimetic drugs.n general, the word choline refers to the various quaternary ammonium salts containing the N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation. Found in most animal tissues, choline is a primary component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and functions with inositol as a basic constituent of lecithin.

Foods to Avoid. Animal proteins and alcohol are among the prime foods that trigger and exacerbate gout attacks. Avoid all alcohol during a gout attack, and only drink it in moderation at other times. It's especially important to avoid beer, since its yeast content adds extra purine to your diet. You should also completely avoid eating organ meats, such as liver or kidneys. Rabbit, venison and other game meats are also on the don't eat list, as is fatty poultry, such as goose and duck. Certain types of seafood also exacerbate gout symptoms; this includes most shellfish, as well as oily fish such as anchovies, sardines and trout.
