15 Foods to Eat When You Have Gout
Chicken
Not all meat is off the menu. Beef and pork can be high in purines and raise uric acid levels, which could lead to an increase of gout attacks. Chicken, however, is a great alternative. Ideally, skinless chicken breast is the best option as it's very low in fat compared to the thigh's dark meat. Chicken should still be consumed in moderation and monitored as it can be a trigger food for some people.
Other fowl should also be avoided. While chicken is safe, birds like turkey and goose can be very high in purines. In general, wild game is much higher in purines, making chicken and duck the safest choices as far as meat goes.
