Gout is an agonizing form of arthritis. It occurs due to the purines in the uric acid that form around the joints. Those suffering from gout experience heat, swelling, tremendous pain and joint stiffness. Consuming excess purine containing foods like organ meats, dried beans, sardines and anchovies can cause gout.
