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.

Bob's Red Mill's nutritional yeast is made in the dedicated facility.

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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in.

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
