5 Dangerous Gout Foods to Avoid
There are many foods that you can and cannot eat when you are afflicted by gout pain. Let us go through the 5 dangerous gout foods to avoid. These foods listed here will be the ones that you should try your best to minimize your intake.
Red meat
There are many types of meat available in the supermarket. From domestic to wild meats, as a gout sufferer, you should avoid red meats as much as possible. Because red meats contain higher levels of purine compared to white meats. Beef, lamb, and also pork contains high levels of purine, enough to make your gout flare up in just 2 days and last quite a while if you consume just a normal serving.
White meat is comparatively lower in purine content. So, having chicken on the dinner table is not as bad as having lamb chop for dinner. With that said, you must control the intake of chicken meat as well, because generally purine content in meats is higher than that of vegetables. It wouldn't hurt to occasionally indulge in pork burgers once in a blue moon.
Scallops
Scallops are another high purine food that you must avoid most of the time. Seafood is high in purine content. Try to stay away from them and resist the temptation to eat seafood salads with scallops when dining out in a fancy restaurant. If you really want to take seafood, 2-4 ounces daily is the maximum that you should limit yourself to. Otherwise, the flare ups will make you regret your decision. Remember that scallops are one of the gout foods to avoid.
