6. Rich Sauces
Rich sauces, such as cream-based sauces, are high in purines, which can increase uric acid levels in the blood and worsen gout symptoms. Those who suffer from gout should avoid any food containing high levels of purines, including rich sauces. Additionally, limiting the consumption of alcohol, especially beer, as well as smoked, cured, and processed meats should also be avoided as they tend to be high in purines as well. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as limiting fatty and processed foods, is beneficial for those suffering from gout.
