Spaghetti Sauce

Every brand of spaghetti sauce states "tomato paste." Is there a specific brand of spaghetti sauce where the tomato paste doesn't include wheat flour? I have yet to see a brand of spaghetti sauce where it states what makes up their tomato paste so I just haven't bought any. I would love to have some on-hand in the pantry for one of those "quick fix" meals!

Most spaghetti sauces are gluten free. All Classico spaghetti sauces are gluten free per their website's statement. I believe Ragu is gluten free also, but double check that. I don't think tomato paste generally contains wheat flour. I could be wrong though.

Tomato paste is safe. it should not be a problem. I buy canned tomato paste all the time, and I think the ingredients are only tomatoes, maybe water, and salt. Tomato paste is not thickened by a flour. It is tomatos that have been cooked down for a long time.

On the whole, there are a lot more gluten free spaghetti sauces than ones that are not safe. We eat it in our house at least once a week. I have used versions of Ragu, Prego, etc. etc.

Also: for general knowledge, due to the Food Labeling Law of 2006, if there WAS wheat flour (in anything), it must now be listed. Wheat is considered an 8 main allergen and is required to be listed. There can still be some lag in labels, but in general, you should be safe.

Hope this helps and you can now enjoy spag sauce!

Tomato paste is usually tomatoes only. I buy canned tomato paste and tomatoes are the only ingredient on the can.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
