10 Foods That Cause Gout
Food #1: Scallops
Primarily, those with gout want to limit foods with high amounts of purine. Ideally, you will have little or no foods that are high in purine and only small amounts of those with moderate amounts of purine.
Thus, cutting back on seafood during a flare-up might be beneficial. Seafood is high in purines. Purines get broken down to uric acid, and this causes gout flare-ups. When your gout is at bay, you have more flexibility; however, when experiencing a flare-up, avoid seafood, especially scallops.
