Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs due to excess uric acid in the body. It causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in one or more joints. It is a painful and inflammatory form of arthritis that affects many people. Gout arthritis is caused by excess uric acid crystals in the body. Sharp crystals can grow in the big toe or other joints when your body has too much uric acid, producing gout attacks, swelling, and discomfort. The big toe is the most affected. Knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist, and elbow are some of the other joints that can be affected. Men are more likely to be affected than women because men produce more uric acid. Increased uric acid levels in women mainly cause it after menopause.

Foods that trigger gout arthritis:
There are a few major high-purine foods, moderately-high-purine foods, and high-fructose foods that trigger gout arthritis problems. So it is better to avoid the following foods to prevent Gout attacks.
- All organ meats: These include liver, kidneys, sweetbreads, and brain
- Game meats: meats like pheasant, veal, and venison
