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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck
