Truly Gluten And Soy- Free Tomato Sauce?

Hi everyone,

Could anyone tell me an absolutely certain choice of tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce) that has no gluten, soy or high fructose? And NO cc issues? And available on the East coast, let's say in the vicinity of, oh...Maine? I think Newman's is okay but they use soy. I've had trouble in the past with all Amy's products.

Thank you for any advice! I usually make my own but it would be nice to have one that's easy on occasion.

Take care,

lisa

Bertolli makes an organic spaghetti sauce - no soy, no corn (syrup or citric acid), no dairy

And, it's quite good - although I usually add more oregano.

Ingredients for the OliveOil,Basil & Garlic sauce: tomato, olive oil, onion, sugar, sea salt, garlic, basil, black pepper, oregano

I buy it at our local grocery store in the midwest - don't know if it's available where you live, though.

You could call Bertolli to find out if they sell it in your area 1-800-450-8699

Hi Lisa :)

I buy (and love) Enrico's Traditional Pasta Sauce. I get the "no salt added", which is even labeled "gluten free".

The ingredients are as follows: tomato puree, tomatoes, olive oil, sugar, garlic, onions, black pepper, lemon juice, basil, oregano, bay leaf, fennel, and parsley.

No preservatives, artificial flavors, additives, or fillers.

I get it at Wegman's, but I know that Shop Rite also carries it. Not sure if you have either one of those up there.

The company's phone # is--1-888-472-8237......and they have a website---www.enricos.com.

I can't remember specific brand names but if you have a health food store or Whole Foods nearby they should have plenty of options.

Thank you everyone! (Hi, Patti-hope you are well!)

I am going to look for those. And, yes, Portland has a nice Whole Foods, my problem is I don't always trust the "gluten-free" label (Amy's?) I need to hear from trusted sources that it's really okay. I know it's ridiculous, but I really am one of those people who reacts to a very small amount of gluten.

I'll look again for the Bertolli's; that sounds a little familiar. I wish good old Paul hadn't put soy in his recipe...

thank you again,

lisa

And the Enrico's! Gosh, thank you, too, everyone for web-sites and phone numbers.

(I do make a mean sauce myself but I think I'm TIRED right now and looking for some fast items. Good thing I'm not a pioneer woman, I guess.

Don't forget to vote. (Is that okay to say?- I don't even know!)

maybe look for Seeds of Change if you hit the health food store. I remember that one being pretty good and problem free.

Rao's Homemade. The one I have is Arrabbiate Fra Diavolo Sauce - Hot.

Ingredients:

Imported Italian Tomatoes

Imported Olive Oil

Fresh Onions

Salt

Fresh Garlic

Crushed red peper

Fresh basil

Black pepper

Oregano

Really good. I get it at Safeway. Don't know if they have Safeway back there.

a can of diced tomatoes and some italian herbs simmered for a few minutes is a lazy approximation of homemade. (I never buy premade, cause I just don't use it, but also don't always feel like making a production from can, let alone tomato.)

Lisa;

I am a chef that lives in Maine and was tired of trying to find quality Gluten Free/Dairy Free Pasta sauces....I too have tried Seeds of Change, Amy's and Vino demilo...needless to say, they left me searching. They were just horrid!.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
