2. Offals and Internal Organs
Just like red and white meat, the organ meats contain relatively high concentration of uric acid. Many people enjoy having livers for their dinner, but you have to prioritize health by cutting down the consumption of this meat (examples are tongue, sweetbreads, pate and tripe).
3. Seafood and Fish
Seafood and fishes are rich sources of protein with low calorie as well as variety of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins B complex, D and A, iodine, iron, selenium and zinc. However, even if these foods are known to be healthy, they are also known to contain high concentration of uric acid in the form of purines. Therefore, if you are suffering from gout, you have to cut down on your consumption of anchovies, herring, sardines, tuna and other oily fishes and other seafood delicacies. If not, they can trigger a new gout problem and aggravate the existing one. Nevertheless, if you have your gout under control, you can consume shrimp, scallops, crab salmon, eel and lobster. Per recommendations, consume only about 4 to 6 oz a day.
