Fruits that are rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, may reduce uric acid levels and alleviate gout symptoms. Try drinking orange juice with meals to add a little extra vitamin C to your diet.
Foods to Avoid. Animal proteins and alcohol are among the prime foods that trigger and exacerbate gout attacks. Avoid all alcohol during a gout attack, and only drink it in moderation at other times. It's especially important to avoid beer, since its yeast content adds extra purine to your diet. You should also completely avoid eating organ meats, such as liver or kidneys. Rabbit, venison and other game meats are also on the don't eat list, as is fatty poultry, such as goose and duck. Certain types of seafood also exacerbate gout symptoms; this includes most shellfish, as well as oily fish such as anchovies, sardines and trout.
