Multiple causes: The most common causes of gouty attacks can be attributed to red meat, shellfish, red wines, and cheeses. While this answer is very broad, specifically foods rich in purines precipitate a gouty attack. Patient's bodies either produce too much uric acid (with normal excretion levels) or do not excrete enough (with normal production of uric acid). See your doctor for some simple tests and meds.

Gout and food: None of those foods will flare up gout; excellent choices; avoid organ meats, fatty meats, alcohol; drink 3 liters per day; incline diet toward alkaline foods; tart cherry juice helps; good for you for thinking this way.....
