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.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
