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.
Proteins also can have high concentrations of purines. Generally, red meat and seafood should be reduced in the diet, if not avoided altogether, because they can be foods that cause gout. Large amounts of high-protein, fatty white meats, such as poultry and pork, can aggravate gout as well.
