As to the high levels of uric acid, you might want to avoid these purine-rich foods:

anchovies
bacon
goose
grouse
haddock
herring
kidneys
liver
mussels
mutton
salmon
sardines
scallops
smelt
trout
turkey
veal
yeast

One more important thing about your condition is maintaining a normal body weight. Being overweight can worsen the situation.
