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.
Uric acid is created when the body breaks down purines. Eating foods that contain a high level of purines can increase your risk of gout. Foods naturally high in purines include: red meat â such as beef, lamb and pork. seafood â especially shellfish and oily fish. offal â such as liver, kidneys and heart.
