People who have gout should avoid these foods...

Gout can be severely painful to live with since it is the result of inflamed joints. Sometimes gout happens for a couple of days but it can even last for months.

​Those who have suffered from gout are better off staying away from some foods in order to help ease the pain. Diet recommendations for those with gout include low protein and low purine intake. 
Purines are found at their highest level in meats of the organ, such as kidneys, livers, brain, tripe and tongue.

Organ meats should not be part of a diet for those with gout and even the intake of meat should be kept to a minimum. Examples of meat to eat in small quantities, if at all, include chicken, pork, ham, duck, sheep, venison, veal and lamb.

​Goose and turkey are the highest in purines when it comes to meat and should be avoided. 
It is suggested that duck and chicken are the best option but should still be eaten in moderation. Purines can also be found in foods that have a base made from animals, like soups and gravy. 
 
Another source of purines are seafood and fish. The seafood to really stay away from includes anchovies, scallops, herring, mackerel and sardines. Other foods that have moderate amounts of purines are halibut, salmon, tuna, trout, perch, carp, snapper and codfish. Other moderately high purines in seafood can be found in crab, oysters, shrimp and lobster. 
 
Refined grains are actually more beneficial to those with gout than whole grains. Whole grains include fortified cereals, whole wheat, oats, barley, quinoa and brown rice. They all have plenty of purines and it is a smarter choice to eat refined grains instead.

​Refined sugars, however, are especially bad and can even make gout symptoms more severe by adding problems such as diabetes.

 
Instead of eating sugar, opt for fruits instead since they will provide the sugar and nutrients that your body might be craving.
It is bad to drink alcohol but the worst alcoholic option is beer due to its purines content.

If one is currently experiencing the severity of gout and has a beer, the symptoms will worsen. An excess of alcohol intake can stimulate gout attacks.

​If you have to choose a drink then it is wiser to choose wine, but intake really needs to be moderate and should not be more than one to two glasses per day.
While many vegetables are beneficial, there are some that are still rich in purines and should be eaten in moderation. The worst vegetables for gout include spinach, asparagus, beans, cauliflower, peas and lentils.
