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.
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.
