Q I’ve heard that there are a lot of foods that are bad for gout, so I’m curious about which ones I absolutely must avoid and which ones are okay to eat in moderation.
A Alcohol, such as beer and spirits, as well as foods high in purines like organ meats, oily fish, and shellfish, directly increase uric acid levels, so they should be avoided as much as possible. Caution is also required with sugary drinks and fruit juices, as they increase uric acid synthesis. Consuming low-fat dairy products, vegetables, and sufficient fluids is recommended as they actually help excrete uric acid.
