Lately I have been having a lot of trouble when eating tomatoes. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing, but in the meantime I'm missing being able to have BBQ chicken and such.

Can anyone suggest a gluten free and tomato free BBQ sauce? Or a recipe for a gluten free / tomato free BBQ sauce?

Thanks!

You could marinate the chicken in a safe Italian salad dressing (Kraft will clearly list gluten) and then grill. It's very good that way :)

When I needed a marinade I did an internet seach for "chicken marinade". There are many receipes on the internet to choose from. I ended up with a lemon, olive oil and garlic marinade.

Hope you can locate one you like.

Hmm... Thanks for the responses. :)

I have plenty of marinades to choose from. What I was hoping to find was something more like a classic barbecue sauce, but without the tomatoes. I have done internet searches, but have not found anything yet like it. I think I will try experimenting with a few things and see what I can come up with.

Thank you!

Maybe puree some raw red pepper? It's very sweet, actually, and might be an ok replacement for ketchup.

If it is just the acid in the tomatoes, try making bbq sauce with yellow tomatoes.

gluten-free Soy sauce, lemon and or lime juice, pureed fruit (apple, pear etc.) is a good base to add to.

We posted quite a few the other week so do a search on the forum.

Why not plums to replace the tomatoes. I used to make a plum bbq sauce, plums, onions, garlic, vinegar, brown sugar. Oh and it is a cooked sauce, just cook on low until it is the thickness you want and strain or not.

Apricots or peaches make a nice sauce too but with different qualities then the plum of course.

Someone on the Delphi forum posted this recipe for No Tomato Tomato Sauce, you could use it as a base and add BBQ sauce ingredients to it.

1 1/2 cups steamed carrots

1/3 cup steamed beets

2/3 cup water

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon basil

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon oregano

3/4 cup chopped, cooked onions (or dried flake)

1 clove minced garlic

Steam carrots and beets until tender (or use baby food). Brown onion and garlic together. Measure all ingredients into a blender until smooth. Add cooked ground meat or meatballs for spaghetti sauce. Or use as is for pizza sauce. Omit basil for chili and use as you would normally. This freezes nicely in a canning jar or freezer bag. Remember to allow about an inch at the top and tighten jar lid after sauce freezes. The sauce is better if it is make the day before and allowed to mellow.

I'm not sure where you live but you could grow them. Of course I am assuming you have a place to grow them, sorry. I buy tomato plants and have grown them in pots before.

Farmers markets in the summer is your best place to find them. Or some of the gourmet type grocery stores carry them but out of season they are spendy.

Thank you so much!! I am sensitive to an enzime in tomatoes and now finding out we are allergic to garlic we have to make everything from scratch. This helps me a bunch. :D

You're welcome. The woman who originally posted this recipe has suggested that if you add vinegar and some brown sugar to balance it, that it should make a nice bbq sauce.

Mistilyn,

You can find tomato free BBQ sauce and ketchup on this site here. Just click on the menu at the left and find condiments. On the second page there are items by NO-Mato. This should be what you want.

Best of luck in your search. If you find something you like please let me know. I understand the frustration. I can't eat tomatoes or peppers. It would be nice to have some kind of BBQ sauce that's within the same range as the traditional tomatoey ones, but I can't see it happening. Sorry guys, but marinades aren't the same thing as a nice gooey BBQ sauce. Fruit based sauces tend to be too sweet and be a whole different experience.

The best option I've come up with is orange juice, gluten-free soy sauce, honey and garlic. I've taken to marinading the chicken in it, then once I pop the chicken in the over or on the grill I reduce the remaining marinade by at least half until it's got a thicker consistency to it. Then I brush it on the chicken a couple times while it's cooking. It's not perfect, but it's an option.

By the way, tomatoes and peppers belong to the same nightshade group so there's a chance that peppers will bother you as well. And tomatoes are tomatoes no matter what the color. If it's an allergy issue the color of it or the type won't matter.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

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

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      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.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
