Gout is caused by buildups of uric acid crystallizing in your joints. Foods that contain high amounts of purines trigger gout. Many different kinds of meat and some vegetables are high in these. Liver, some types of seafood, and spinach are a few of the foods that trigger this. Foods high in protein are generally high in purines as well. There are many other triggers as well. www.webmd.com is a great source for information of this.

Eating acidic foods usually cause the gout. Eating foods that are high in purine causes gout. Diuretics like coffee can also cause gout. When you drink a lot of coffee, you go to the bathroom a lot. Going to the bathroom a lot causes the loss of potasium. Being low in potassium could be a part of gout, but it is these other foods that cause the loss of potassium. Bananas, white potatoes and strawberries are very high in potassium. So eat those. Cherry's, sweet or sour are also very good at curing gout.

Is broccoli safe for gout?
To help with gout you want to eat foods low in purines, which cause elevated uric acid levels, which is the main cause of gout. But this is counter-intuitive because many high purine foods are shown to help with gout, like meats and oatmeal. Yogurt has been shown that when integrated into a healthy diet can help lower uric acid levels. But, and this is a big but, it really depends on the type of yogurt because most are high in added sugar which is no good. I suggest plain greek yogurt like Fage, or Chobaini.
