What's The Deal With Tomato Paste?

Jodi

Recommended Posts

What is the brand of a safe tomato paste? I'd pooh-poohed this issue, thinking it wasn't a big deal or the organic brand I was using wouldn't be a culprit: and then spent over a week sick, eating a homemade red sauce from crushed tomatoes and tomato paste every day. How do I know what brands I can trust to not be floured?

(Am hoping to make pizza sauce tonight, if anyone can answer today! I'm in California and have easy access to Trader Joes, Wild Oats, Whole Foods, and a bunch of normal stores).

Thanks.

I use Amy's Tomato Basil sauce to make pizza and it's really good! It says gluten free on the bottle. You can get it at Whole Foods. I've never made a homemade tomato sauce before and would love to learn.

Trader Joe's says that their tomato paste is safe. The only one I've heard of that isn't is a variety of Contadina's.

I use Hunt's tomato paste, got confirmation from them that it was gluten-free, I use it for pizza sauce and in my chili and lots of things.

I use Great Value brand with no problem. Could you actually be reacting to the tomato itself?

I don't know if you have this brand in the states, but Unico is safe.

I tired tomato paste once last year and got soooo sick! I haven't dared try any tomato paste or sauce again. I don't know for sure if it was the tomato paste, but that was the only new food I ate that day. Thanks everyone for sharing the brands that are safe. I'm tempted to try one. I really miss it on my pizza.

The only one I've ever heard of was Contadina's Tomato Paste w/ Italian Seasonings. It's probably a flavoring issue.

I use Contadina paste and tomato sauce. Both are the regular kind.

For those of us that can't eat NIGHT SHADE VEGGIES I was told tomato's fall into that category.

I'm Italian and miss it more than I can express...

I use tomato paste quite often - the only ingredient listed is tomatoes.

Are you guys saying there is wheat in them? I can't get any of those brand names mentioned - just use ordinary grocery store brands.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
