I Found gluten-free Tomato Sauce

Hi Ya'll

I just wanted to share that I found gluten-free Tomato sauce and tomato paste at Albertson's it is Del Monte Organic I was so surprise to find it that my daughter asked me what I was so happy about. We had totally gluten-free Spegetti the other night well did have regular bread with that so far so good well sort of. Also I have seen on here that people have written about that they have cheated with butter, I'm guessing that they are eating regular butter. I have been getting butter that is gluten-free and Lactose Free Smart Balance brand they also have gluten-free shredded cheese their oil I have not seen anything about gluten-free but is seems to be ok but to others who are very sick with celiac disease I don't know what the oil will do for you. I also enjoy drinking Glucers VitiminWater that is flavored water I wrote to the company to ask if they are gluten-free and they said yes I have not seen anything in the ingrediants that is on the don't eat list. But I did try a new Diet Coke that has new drink out that suppose to have vitimins in it well I started to drink it and have way I looked at the ingredients again and found what I think is Gluten in it Gluecomine I think it said, spelling is prob wrong. After I drank it and the rest of the night I had heartburn and stomachburn.

Just a little Info for Ya'll

Donna, I used to do a little dance when I found things that were gluten free. Yay, I can eat! I bet people thought I was crazy.

I think most plain tomato sauces are gluten free, I'd watch out for barbeque and steak sauces, tomato pastes are usually concentrated tomatoes with maybe a bit of salt. But still it pays to read lables all the time.

As for butter, butter is always gluten free, unless it is a flavoured butter or a butter substitute. But I think most of them would be gluten free too. People cheating with butter is a new one on me, maybe they are lactose intolerant and have cheated in that respect. But read labels, or contact the manufacturers as you have been doing.

I think all of the coke range is gluten free, but I can't be positive. I do know diet coke does not agree with me for some reason, and being on a diet it is hard work drinking regular coke, but it is nice.

Do you get the feeling that you will be doing a lot of label reading in the next few months?

Best of luck.

Last I checked, Contadina Pizza Sauce was gluten-free. Though I swear I found that on their website.

Please don't eat "regular" bread. It's full of gluten and negates the gluten-free spaghetti. Feel free to ask lots of questions and we'll help you to get all the gluten out of your diet.

My signature says that I "cheat with butter". This has nothing to do with gluten. I'm sensitive to dairy, but do eat regular butter, though I probably shouldn't.

I thought that coke had gluten because it has caramel coloring and caramel can have gluten. Anyone know for sure?

Coke is gluten-free and the reality is that caramel color is also gluten-free -- at least in the U.S. and probably everywhere else as well.

Unfortunately there are too many old lists on the Internet and being passed out by doctors.

The safe and forbidden lists on the celiac.com homepage are pretty much accurate.

It is a good thing Coke is gluten free, one beverage I need to make it through the day.

On the Clan Thompson site/software is says that caramel coloring is usually gluten-free unless used in meat containing products. Can anyone elaborate?

You were thrilled about finding gluten free tomato sauce, and then went on to eat regular bread. Eating regular bread would be far worse than getting the small amount of wheat you might find in tomato sauce, are you crazy?

When I read her comment about the bread, I assumed that her family was eating that, not her. Might that not be a possibility?

I assumed she or whoever the gluten-free person was, was eating it and that made no sense to me. As for the tomato sauce, I have never seen any that has gluten in it. Now possibly a prepared sauce for pizza and pasta, but not plain tomato sauce.

You have to read the ingredients but most plain tomato sauce is gluten free.

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Thank you for the information ill will definitely bring it into practice .

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
