Tomato/tomato Sauce Alternative?

Renegade

Recommended Posts

Well so I have completely cut grains and I eat a LOTS more veggies, celeries,pepper sweet potatoes,salad.

 

But now I am trying to find an alternative for my spaghetti sauce, so far I am getting a pretty good diet that makes me feel good every time I eat it but today while having spaghetti sauce I felt a bloating so I am thinking maybe I just ate too much overall today or maybe there is something in the spaghetti sauce that cause it.

 

So I'm looking to make something similar to it where It will still be primary beef and other veggies (onion,pepper,celeries,spices) But with a tomato sauce alternative. I see so many people saying how nightshade are bad well I am ready to cut it out for some time and see if I feel better, still makes no sense to me how tomatos could be bad but meh. At this point I am willing to do anything to feel better.

 

I was thinking to replace it for chili but wouldn't it be very spicy?

 

Let me know your ideas and suggestions, thanks.

Peppers are a nightshade vegetable too.

 

I don't really have any ideas what you could replace the sauce with though. Maybe you could go with a "white" spaghetti sauce, sort of like they do with white pizza. Ricotta or even cottage cheese, some pesto and some spices?

Nope gotta cut dairy too, no way I can have cheese,

 

Lol and I though I was finally doing good with peppers, now should I try cutting them off? Well they don't seem to give me a problem yet. This is frustrating, going gluten free is just not even close to enough.

 

I dont have any of the symptoms of nightshade problems though, just bloating oh and except that I seem to always have a need to urinate that only happens at night... I'm fine during the day.

I make carrot/onion/garlic soup that I use in place of tomato sauce.

Pasta salads.  (I think they work better with fish or chicken, myself.)  Grill meat, grill or roast veggies, place over pasta with storebought or homemade italian salad dressing.  Yum!

Got to ski, how do you make that soup? I use salad dressing as well, especially for a tuna noodle salad. I'm allergic to tomato and avoid soy.

I've seen a sauce online made with beets, sorry don't remember the name. I'm lucky to be able to do some dairy, so I do Alfredo that is also soy free. For both pasta and pizza i use garlic,olive oil,herbs for sauce. All other stuff pasta that is cold, I use salad dressings .

I just cook carrots then throw in the blender with onion, garlic, salt and pepper...sometimes I use ginger instead of garlic.

I got the idea while eating mostly soups for a period to give my gut a break....try googling carrot or carrot cream soups for more exact recipes.

Oh I also make Basil or Cilantro "pesto" with almonds...I cant eat pasta right now...but do eat a lot of zuchini noodles and spaghetti squash with carrot sauce or "pesto".

Raw cookbooks have a number of sauce recipes that include dairy-free variations on dairy.  You could look in raw recipes for some inspiration.

I have used a Nomato sauce.  It is a mixture of beets, carrots onion and spices.  It can be ordered from this site.  Just clicl on the Gluten-Free Mall tab under condiments.  I also found a recipe and made it once.

 

I live in Atlanta and there is one store here that carries it.

 

Hope this helps.

I have a problem with nightshades too.  I get just as bad of reaction as gluten.  If I remember right, nightshades contain cytokins which can exacerbate inflammation in the body.  Way true for me!  Found this out from all of the fantastic people on this forum.  Thanks to you all!  I have not found any substitutes for them, and I just have to live without them.  I am also allergic to garlic and onion.  They cause inflammation and bloating.  Maybe you should get a blood allergy test if that doesn't work.  If  I avoid the foods that I'm the most allergic to, and stick to my rotation of the others...no bloating at all.  I am often bloated, because I often mess up.  Willpower...:(

A favorite in my house that is gluten free and vegan for sauce is: garlic minced and sautéed in olive oil with salt and pepper and a bunch of chopped parsley. Don't burn the garlic. You can put it on gluten-free pasta or use for a "white" gluten-free pizza for sauce. Yum! It's not tomatoes but it's something different and yummie. It's easy on the tummy. (for me anyways) and being FB Italian, it's comfort food. :)

I'm wondering if beets would be a great addition because I would cook with the the carrots and beefs.

How about tons of pesto varieties? Easy to make. Instead of pine nuts sometimes I use walnuts, pistachios, almonds, etc. and switch up the herbs to use sage, rosemary, mint, thyme...

There definitely are no tomatoes in most pesto (lots of basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, pine nuts = traditional pesto). I do make sundried tomato pesto but by far the most common is stated above.

I like to use coconut milk for a creamy sauce for pasta. I usually just put some in a pan, after cooking up little garlic and stir for half aminute or so then throw the pasta in and a bit of lemon or lime juice.

I have done this with a couple of anchovies for a jar, which gives a bit of a bite like soy sauce.

I have actually used this as a sauce with cooked onions, olives and beef too. It is a bit odd, but I like it :)

So I made a spaghetti sauce this time with beets and carrot and carrot juice, it taste so darn good and I didn't even bother adding spices or garlic just yet because I didn't want to make the risk to feel bad. I'll try this the whole week and if its good i'll add garlic next then spies and eventually I should get a very tasty sauce without tomatoes.

Most premade spaghetti sauces contain gluten. It is one of the hidden ingredients in the tomato paste. 

There is a gluten-free brand called Monte Bene. Depending on the flavor you choose, it could also contain milk.

This is not accurate.  Many brands of commercial pasta sauce are gluten free as is most tomato paste.  The reason I say most tomato paste as there was a confusing can of tomato paste awhile back that contained spices and gluten with a label nearly identical to the plain tomato paste.

 

It is always wise to check the ingredients each time you purchase...and contact the manufacturer if you have questions.

You are so right that I did not word that well. How about this:

Most premade spaghetti sauces have the potential to contain gluten. It can be one of the hidden ingredients in the tomato paste, natural flavors, or any one of a multitude of ingredients that may be used in a sauce due to a lack of procedures being in place to specifically monitor gluten during the manufacturing process. That could simply be cross contamination in a processing facility, or an actual ingredient.

I do know that when I went gluten free, I contacted the manufacturers of my favorite brands, to question them about the gluten content and they were quite definitive that they were unable to make any assurances when it came to gluten. And these are sauces that only use organic ingredients, and all of them vegetable, so no artificial flavors or additives of any sort to be potential sources.

Granted, after they appeared to be the sources of accidental glutenings early on in my attempts to go gluten free, I didn't risk trying them again.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
