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.
People can also treat this condition by making small changes in their diet. Foods that are very high in purines can trigger an attack. Processed meats, such as salami, bacon and pepperoni, are some of the gout foods to avoid. Not only do these foods trigger gout, but they are also bad for your overall health. People also want to make sure that they limit their consumption of seafood. Seafood is also very high in purines. Mussels, crabs, shrimp, and clams are some of the other gout foods.
