My mom wants to know what food causes gout because she has it?

Food can aggravate i: Gout is caused by a genetic disorder where there is excess production of uric acid in the body. Food can contribute some more towards this probelm but it is only a minor factor. Alcohol can definitely aggrvate it. If she is taking medication then there are no food restrictions other than avoid excessive use of alcohol.

Forget diet: Studies have that diet is not a factor. Your mom needs to be on Allopurinol to reduce serum uric acid level and prevent recurrence of gouty attacks.

Gout: Certain foods can make it worse but since it runs in families i would make sure she is on medication that controls uric acid production.

Diet and gout: Tart cherry juice is effective against gout; avoid organ meats; fatty meats and alcohol will aggravate gout. Avoid these. Also, drink at least 3 liters fluid per day - this may enhance uric acid excretion - and if you incline diet successfully to mostly whole grain, fruit, and veggies, using egg white for protein, then uric acid levels will come down.
