People suffering from gout should not eat organ meats, anchovies, mackerel or herring, as well as other foods high in purines. Fatty red meat, fish and seafood are also high in purines and are connected with elevated risk of gout, as stated by the Mayo Clinic.
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.
