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...:(

Yup done deal, I'm going to try to make carrot sauce with beef, we will see how that taste.

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.

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
