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.
A purine-rich diet, on the other hand, can have opposite effects. Because pork is moderately high in purines, consuming excessive or frequent amounts can increase your uric acid levels, leading to worsened gout symptoms. Fatty cuts of pork and pork prepared with butter, cheese or high-fat creamy sauces may worsen inflammation by contributing saturated fat to your diet.
