Venison
We’ve mentioned veal, beef, and bacon, and now we’re also adding venison to the list of meats you’ll have to avoid if you suffer from the symptoms of gout. Venison is the meat of antlered ungulates (elk, deer). There was a time when venison meat was considered any type of meat caught from the wild, but times have undoubtedly changed. Similar to most other types of game meat, venison tends to be quite high in purine, which can be broken down into uric acid.
Too much uric acid in the body can cause all sorts of issues for those suffering from grout. Arthritis can be painful enough on its own, but arthritis through gout can cause crystals to form in the joints, which in turn causes extreme pain.
Similar to other types of red meat, it’s best to avoid veal due to its link to heart disease, weight gain, and more. It’s not a kind of meat that should be eaten regularly, as it could cause a host of problems for the body down the road.
