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.
While there isnât a regimented gout diet, anyone who is diagnosed with gout should follow a healthy, balanced diet. Because uric acid is formed from the breakdown of purines, high-purine foods can trigger attacks. It is strongly encouraged to avoid: 1  Beer and grain liquors. 2  Red meat, lamb and pork. 3  Organ meats, such as liver, kidneys and sweetbreads.  Seafood, especially shellfish, like shrimp, lobster, mussels, anchovies and sardines.
