Gout is a type of arthritis that involves sudden pain, swelling and inflammation of the joints.
People with gout experience sudden and severe attacks of pain, swelling and inflammation of the joints

These symptoms occur when there is too much uric acid in the blood.
This uric acid then crystallizes and settles in the joints.
If you have gout, certain foods may trigger an attack by raising your uric acid levels.
Trigger foods are commonly high in purines. When you digest purines, your body makes uric acid as a waste product
Now, This is not a concern for healthy people, as they efficiently remove excess uric acid from the body.
But, people with gout can’t efficiently remove excess uric acid. Thus, a high-purine diet may lead to uric acid accumulation and cause a gout attack

Foods that commonly trigger gout attacks include organ meats, red meats, seafood, alcohol and beer. They contain a moderate-to-high amount of purines
However, there is one exception to this rule. high-purine vegetables such as asparagus and spinach, do not trigger gout attacks.
And interestingly, fructose and sugar-sweetened beverages can increase the risk of gout attacks, even though they’re not purine-rich

Uric acid foods to avoid:

Avoid high purine foods:
These are foods that contain more than 200 mg of purines per 100gm or 3.5 ounces.
You should also avoid high-fructose foods, as well as moderately-high-purine foods, which contain 150–200 mg of purines per 100gms.
