5. Shellfish
While people afflicted with arthritic gout shouldn’t completely avoid the sea, they certainly want to think twice before regularly eating out of it. Shellfish categorizes edible sea animals including scallops, lobster, clams, shrimp, and crab.
Shellfish bears a moderate amount of gout-triggering purine, however, as with most foods, over-consumption can be dangerous and push the uric acid levels in the blood of someone with gout over the edge.
Never eat shellfish while experiencing a gout attack, and strategize a prevention diet with your doctor that might limit consumption to a few times a month or a week.
