People who have gout may find that certain foods cause the condition to become worse by triggering a gout attack.
Medical research supports this anecdotal evidence to some degree. A partial list of foods that cause gout includes:
Anchovies
Sardines
Herring
Mussels
Liver
Kidneys.
Eating these foods does not necessarily mean that a gout attack will absolutely occur. Other risk factors play a role in this condition. Your healthcare provider can recommend a specific eating plan based on your unique condition and will also recommend other prevention strategies.
