Foods to avoid if you have gout. Gout is an extremely painful inflammation of the joints caused by a buildup of needle-sharp uric-acid crystals. The big toe is the most common target, but gout can attack the feet, ankles, knees, and hands as well. An attack or âflareâ can last for days or months. Men and obese people are at greater risk. If youâre prone to gout, the foods you eatâand donât eatâplay a key role in keeping your joints pain-free.
Too much bread or alcohol can be a problem if you have gout, a condition in which uric-acid crystals form in the joints, causing pain, swelling, and inflammation. Add purine-rich foodsâsuch as seafood and red meatâto the list and it can seem hard to find something you can eat. (Purine gets broken down into uric acid in the body.) Still, gout shouldnât keep you from enjoying your food.
