1. Scallops
Scallops are basically a type of mollusk similar to oysters you shouldn’t eat if you have gout. Lona Sandon, PhD, RDN, an assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas says that you should cut back on scallops and everything that’s related to seafood during gout flare-ups.
As we already mentioned, seafood is high in purines, so it’s definitely a good idea to avoid scallops when you’re dealing with gout—you will also avoid a massive pain. For those who can’t give up on seafood, they should eat smaller portions accompanied by gout-friendly foods such as low-fat dairy, fruits (cherries in particular), and vegetables.
