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.
You can eat fruits, vegetables and grains. You may need to limit high-purine vegetables, including spinach, cauliflower, asparagus and mushrooms. The Gout and Uric Acid Education Society, however, reports that these vegetables may not increase gout symptoms to the extent once thought.
