People suffering from gout should avoid foods that have a lot of purines, such as organ and game meats, gravy, other meats in large amounts, and beer. These foods elevate levels of uric acid in the body and lead to gout, according to WebMD.
âThe wrong foods can be the âfinal strawâ that sets off a gout attack, but the patient needs to have been predisposed to the attack by having high blood uric acid with subsequent deposits of uric acid in the joints.â Examples of high-purine foods include red meat, shellfish, and beer.
