Certain seafood, such as herring, scallops, mussels, cod, tuna, trout and haddock, red meat, such as beef, lamb, pork and bacon, Turkey. Meat (especially offal, such as liver and sweetbreads) and shellfish (such as fish and shellfish) can be high in chemicals called purines. When the body breaks them down, the level of uric acid increases. Soft drinks and fruit sugar-flavored juices, such as high-fructose corn syrup, can cause outbreaks of gout.
Red meat and organs are high in purines, which can cause an overproduction of uric acid in the blood. Bacon, turkey, veal and venison are some of the main culprits of gout pain. Sweetbreads, liver and kidneys should be avoided, as they can cause outbreaks of gout.
