Pizza Sauce Alternatives?

My name is Kris, and I'm a pizzaholic.

Next line....

My name is Kris - and I suffer GERD - so I can't eat tomatoes.... tomato sauce, or any of my other favorite pizza toppings.

Big problem, eh??

So, what else can I use to make a pizza??? Is there such thing as a low acid tomato sauce? Is there such thing as a dairy/lactose free alfredo sauce?

I'm not very creative in the kitchen. My pizzas normally consist of Kinnikinnick crust, organic sauce, and soy mozzarella - and often chopped tomatoes.

I want pizza..... can anyone help me????????????????????

There are loads of "white pizza's" that don't use tomatoe at all. Just google or look at

Open Original Shared Link

Then just pick the ingredients you like and thow em on top :D (obviously missing out any non gluten-free ones)

Also depending how bad you are with the tomatoes you could try boiling them for a long time (like over 1 hour)

you need to add water a bit else you'll get treacle .. but while boiling you can add some garlic and herbs and then 10 minutes before your ready throw in some basil.

Hope these both help

I sometimes make my pizza with just cheese and toppings. I put some ricotta on the pie, top with a bit of mozzarella then put on my favorite toppings. I use sliced mushrooms and olives. YUM

Maybe your GI doctor can start you on Prilosec for GERD.

I have had the same problem, but with one tablet daily, I can eat anything and have

no ill effects.

With that problem, you will want to get checked periodically, too, to be sure your

esophagus is healthy.

There are a mirad of problems that can occur if not treated.

Don't just do without tomatoes.

Get treated. Stay well.

I've found that if you put a lot of moist toppings on pizza, you don't really miss the sauce too much.

You could also try doing a white sauce. I do a wonderful crab pizza using ricotta, garlic, onion, and crab meat. Mmmmmm....

Olive oil and spices make a great base for pizza, almost like a bruschetta without the tomato.

Horseradish (I don't know how that would work with GERD) also makes a good base, just don't use the creamy stuff. I do horseradish (very thin layer) with parmesean, red peppers, garlic, onions, and mozzerella.

Pesto is good.

Moist meats like canned chicken, canned crab, etc. seem to negate the need for sauce when lightly drained.

Hope that gives you a few ideas to try.

Even in my gluten eating days, I always preferred white pizza with olive oil, cheese and spinach. :P

Yeah, I love tomatoes too, and couldn't imagine going without for the rest of my life! I seriously second the motion that you go get some Prilosec :) You shouldn't have to suffer (either way). Pesto sounds SO good...I'm gonna make a pesto pizza tomorrow with fresh basil from my garden!!! I actually had a good pizza from Amy's. I know the brand gets a lot of grief due to "CC" but I've never had a problem. It was a spinach pizza with lots of cheese on it, and it was so good i was almost done with it before I realized there was no sauce :) Anyway, good luck!

Is there such thing as a dairy/lactose free alfredo sauce?

i make a dairy/lactose free alfredo all the time!

i use on can of thai kitchen coconut milk, garlic powder, salt, ALOT of pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

slowly bring that to a boil and then i add potato starch until its as thick as i want!

i do thicker for pizza and thinner for a pasta dish.

its really good on pizza (or pasta) with onions, garlic, fresh spinach and crimini mushrooms!

i make a smiliar one with nutritional yeast in addition to those ingredients and with no garlic (although i would, i'm just allergic to it). the nutritional yeast is a powerhouse food, and you don't need to thicken it up with flour - it does the job. gives it the parm cheesey taste sans parm.

I too would like to know where you get the gluten-free nutritional yeast.

Here is a recipe for gluten-free and Vegan Parmesan Cheese using it.

Parmesan Cheese

Equal amounts of:

Almond meal or ground sesame seeds

nutritional yeast flakes

garlic

onion

Mix all ingredients together and use on pasta, lasagne or anything that calls for parmesan cheese.

mmmmmm.....I used to love Thai pizza before going gluten free. I never thought of making my own gluten-free Thai pizza. Someone asked about what to put on the pizza. The bar I used to get it from put cucumbers, chicken, red peppers and I think cilantro. You could also put a couple of slices of hot pepper on if you like spicy stuff. I think I am going to try to make it this weekend.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
