Spaghetti Sauce

Every brand of spaghetti sauce states "tomato paste." Is there a specific brand of spaghetti sauce where the tomato paste doesn't include wheat flour? I have yet to see a brand of spaghetti sauce where it states what makes up their tomato paste so I just haven't bought any. I would love to have some on-hand in the pantry for one of those "quick fix" meals!

Most spaghetti sauces are gluten free. All Classico spaghetti sauces are gluten free per their website's statement. I believe Ragu is gluten free also, but double check that. I don't think tomato paste generally contains wheat flour. I could be wrong though.

Tomato paste is safe. it should not be a problem. I buy canned tomato paste all the time, and I think the ingredients are only tomatoes, maybe water, and salt. Tomato paste is not thickened by a flour. It is tomatos that have been cooked down for a long time.

On the whole, there are a lot more gluten free spaghetti sauces than ones that are not safe. We eat it in our house at least once a week. I have used versions of Ragu, Prego, etc. etc.

Also: for general knowledge, due to the Food Labeling Law of 2006, if there WAS wheat flour (in anything), it must now be listed. Wheat is considered an 8 main allergen and is required to be listed. There can still be some lag in labels, but in general, you should be safe.

Hope this helps and you can now enjoy spag sauce!

Tomato paste is usually tomatoes only. I buy canned tomato paste and tomatoes are the only ingredient on the can.

      Make up. Is Mary Kay gluten-free?

      New onset constant gas

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      First, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this—constant bloating and gas can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve been so diligent with your gluten-free diet. Since nothing obvious has changed in your routine, a few possibilities come to mind: 1) Cross-contamination or hidden gluten (have you introduced new brands, eaten out more, or tried processed GF foods with questionable ingredients?), 2) New food intolerances (dairy, FODMAPs, or even GF grains like corn/rice can sometimes cause issues over time), 3) Gut dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria, possibly triggered by stress, antibiotics, or diet shifts), or 4) Non-celiac triggers (like SIBO or fructose...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Finding gluten-free and oat-free bars that aren’t overly sugary can be tricky, but there are some great options out there! For your little adventurers, consider GoMacro Kids bars (many are GF/oat-free and lower in sugar), 88 Acres Seed Bars (sweetened lightly with fruit), or The Good Crisp Company’s protein bars (grain-free and not too sweet). For homemade ideas, try simple nut/seed bars with dates, almond butter, and chia—no baking needed! Packaged snacks like Chomps meat sticks, Simple Mills almond flour crackers, or seaweed snacks also work well for hikes. If they like savory, roasted chickpeas or lupini beans are protein-packed and easy to carry. Hope this helps—happy trails!

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Using anti-inflammatories for symptom management after inadvertent gluten exposure can be a helpful short-term strategy, particularly for reducing discomfort like inflammation, pain, or swelling. However, it shouldn’t replace strict adherence to a gluten-free diet as the primary treatment for conditions like celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) or natural anti-inflammatories (e.g., turmeric) may provide relief, they don’t address the underlying immune response or intestinal damage caused by gluten. Additionally, long-term or frequent use of NSAIDs carries risks, such as gastrointestinal irritation. It’s best to consult a healthcare provider to tailor an...

      Confused about my results

      There is a predictive model for children on this link. Depends on sex, HLA genes and number of affected close relatives.  The model only goes up to age 12 so it would be interesting to know what the lifetime risk is. https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/
