Gout occurs when uric acid accumulates in your joint, causing inflammation and intense pain. Thus, people with gout should avoid having a diet rich in red meat; organ and glandular meats; seafood; sugary foods and beverages; drinking beer and distilled liquors; and certain medications can increase uric acid levels such as antihypertensive drugs.
