Guide To Foods That May Trigger Gout Flares

Veal And Venison

Veal and venison seem to be fairly high in purines. Gout patients may want to stop eating these meats since they appear to be a common cause of symptom flares. This seems to apply to liver and other organ meats as well. Doctors may recommend that gout patients limit their meat intake to no more than four ounces a day. In addition, they may only want to eat white meat, such as turkey or chicken, instead of veal and venison. White meat appears to have fewer purines.

However, most individuals may consume too much protein, particularly from meat. Thus, patients should consider getting some protein from plant-based sources instead of veal and venison, as well as other meats. Gout patients may get help with this through a nutritionist.
