Red meat and alcohol: There is actually an extensive list of food items that can flare a gout attack. The most common are red meats and alcohol. The list can even include common food such as legumes.

See below for diet: Though red meat, shellfish, and beer are often cited as the worst foods to eat if you have gout, newer research shows that diet has only a moderate effect on the amount of uric acid in your body. Online sources can help you modify your diet AND your lifestyle. If that doesn't help, see you doctor for uric acid lowering medications.
