The prevention of gout attacks lies in diet. There are a number of foods that can trigger a gout attack. Recent studies have found that many of the vegetables we believe cause gout attacks in fact can decrease the risk. These foods include beans, peas, and leafy greens.

Seafood, especially shellfish, like shrimp, lobster, mussels, anchovies and sardines.
