Salicylic Acid-Tomatoes

On this page Open Original Shared Link it listed FRESH tomatoes as being moderate in salicylic acid. Right now I've only been eating foods no higher than moderate really for the most part....under VERY high ...it lists tomatoes....what exactly is the difference? By Fresh Tomatoes do they mean the produce section at the grocery store or what? Because it doesn't say CANNED or anything under the very high section..so i'm confused. Asking especially since I have a cold right now and tomato is very good for you...

I would assume that "Fresh" means just that... fresh. Could cooking it by chance take some of it out? No clue...

I think because cooking takes a lot of the water out of tomatoes, that cooked are just more concentrated. I know for a long while I could still eat fresh tomatoes, but these got to be too much too (not salicylates though).

I too quit eating fresh tomatoes because of the high acid. Even canned affected me. Is that salicylates? I don't know, but tomatoes are on my "no eat" list!

Shroomie is right when she says cooking makes them more concentrated--I had a strong reaction when I cooked some down and made a sauce.

There is a place near here (Near being relative - it's about 50 miles away) that does a killer gluten-free pizza, or so I've been told. I actually spoke to the owner who has a celiac family member and I know it is safe. I haven't tried it yet because I am scared to try tomato sauce.

BUT!!! My healthfood store sells gluten-free pizza crust. (I think it's Udi's ?) So I am going to make a white pizza using things I know I can have. Sunflower oil, Daisy brand cottage cheese, garlic, ground bison, broccoli, and cheddar.

Yeah, I know it's not the same, but at least it's sort of pizza-like. And I have always liked white pizza anyway.

Other than that, I never cared for tomatoes much anyway. I hardly ever had a BLT, it was always a BL. Picked them out of my salads too.

But there must be something you can use instead of tomatoes in the things you used to like tomatoes in. If Bartfull The Lousy Cook can think up a pizza substitute, I'm sure someone who knows their way around the kitchen can figure something out. A little imagination and a spirit of adventure are all that is needed. :)

I guess the problem with pizza is the cheese. Not sure if i have dairy intolerance or if it's just me healing right now. If I do a stool test for casein do i need to be eating and drinking it for anything to show up?

The tomato sauce substitute has been done:

:3. TOMATO SUBSTITUTE (Red sauce)

"Though nothing really tastes like tomatoes, you can get some of the

properties with the right combination of ingredients. Carrots and beets

pureed together in a blender actually make a very red sauce. Add citric

and ascorbic acid, and you'll have the basis for Nomato.

The Nomato sauce ingredients are basically:

Carrots, water, beets, onion, lemon juice, salt, garlic, ascorbic acid

(vitamin C) and herbs." Thanks to RiceGuy. I now can't have the citric acid :(

Of course, I can't do beets so it doesn't really matter to me :P

I'll stick with white sauce thanks. Beets make my skin crawl :blink: My middle school that i went too (also an elementary) used to searve them very often. I would trade them off for something else.

Though i about had a fit earlier. I was coming back from a late class and i saw a pizza dilevery guy... who decided to use the elevator.... TT_TT i miss the convienence of it i guess.

I have some udi's white bread in the freezer. I've yet to gather the courage to try it.

Can't toast it either. Mother decided to 'try' her gluteny bread in my toaster :angry: She 'supposably' cleaned it. -sigh- at least i have a fry pan i could use to toast it up, but still <_< /end random tangent

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
