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.

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.)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      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.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
