Pasta Sauce

Yes I know I can make my own. And yes I know it is easy. I am old. I come from a time when you couldn't buy jarred or canned sauce. So I know. And in those days the only seasoning I put in my sauce was oregano. But in recent years I've gotten lazy. I have been buying jarred sauce or when making my own, putting in Italian seasoning.

However, now my daughter can't have basil. I can't have thyme and neither of us can have marjoram. So out went the Italian seasoning. And the pizza seasoning.

Oh and I can't have dairy either! The food bank got a lot of jarred sauces from us along with all unopened bags and boxes of quinoa pasta. Daughter can't have quinoa either.

I bought a jar of Ragu but after I got it home, I saw that it said it contained "spices" as did a lot of the jars. Most did label for basil. Yes, I know I could write to the company and hope that they will tell me if those specific things are in there.

We didn't do a thorough search but daughter found some organic stuff with roasted garlic that only had oregano in it. I bought two jars. The problems? I don't do well with garlic. It gives me stomach pains if I eat too much of it. I don't know why. It doesn't show as an intolerance or an allergy. And it is a large jar. 6 servings. Would be fine when my husband is home. He's Italian, loves garlic and eats a lot. But he is in the military. Currently lives in another state and is due to retire this summer. He'll be home all the time then, but for now? Not so much.

Anyway... Does anyone know of a prepared sauce that doesn't contain basil, thyme, marjoram or dairy? I would prefer it to be 3 or 4 servings per jar and hopefully not contain high fructose corn syrup and be somewhat low in carbs. I have diabetes and daughter has pre-diabetes.

I wish we could get the Red Pack tomatoes here. My MIL swears by them. That's what she always made her sauce out of and AFAIK she didn't add much in the way of seasonings to it. I think it has the best tomato flavor. But we can't get it here.

Thanks!

      So you would be good with the diagnosis and not worry to check genetics etc etc? Appreciate your words!

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away
