Gout Foods To Avoid

Please note, I am not a doctor. I am someone who has had gout at the age of 25. Too young for a disease that afflicts only men in their 40s. Im 31 years of age and I follow a very simple routine to prevent my attacks.

Step 1:
3 tablets of Allupurinol in the morning, 2 litres of water every day.

Step 2:
Foods to AVOID at ALL COST to prevent gout attacks.

  1. Beer
  2. Baileys Irish Cream (VERY POTENT)
  3. Beef
  4. Gravies
  5. Beans
  6. Dark Sauce
  7. Bone Marrow
  8. Peas
  9. Squid
  10. Prawn
  11. Crab
  12. Duck
  13. White Bread
  14. Mayonnaise (I just feel that this hurts me when I eat it)
  15. Can food, tuna, pork cubes
  16. Beans
  17. Toufu
I had 3 cans of tuna 5 years ago, and it triggered my 1st gout attack. Excruciating pain only a gout sufferer can understand.

These are foods other people have told me to avoid.
  1. Egg
  2. Ladies Finger
  3. Dark Sauce
  4. Light Sauce
  5. Tomato
  6. Olive
  7. Preserved beancurd
  8. Ox Tail
  9. Plum Sauce
