What's The Deal With Tomato Paste?

Jodi

Recommended Posts

What is the brand of a safe tomato paste? I'd pooh-poohed this issue, thinking it wasn't a big deal or the organic brand I was using wouldn't be a culprit: and then spent over a week sick, eating a homemade red sauce from crushed tomatoes and tomato paste every day. How do I know what brands I can trust to not be floured?

(Am hoping to make pizza sauce tonight, if anyone can answer today! I'm in California and have easy access to Trader Joes, Wild Oats, Whole Foods, and a bunch of normal stores).

Thanks.

I use Amy's Tomato Basil sauce to make pizza and it's really good! It says gluten free on the bottle. You can get it at Whole Foods. I've never made a homemade tomato sauce before and would love to learn.

Trader Joe's says that their tomato paste is safe. The only one I've heard of that isn't is a variety of Contadina's.

I use Hunt's tomato paste, got confirmation from them that it was gluten-free, I use it for pizza sauce and in my chili and lots of things.

I use Great Value brand with no problem. Could you actually be reacting to the tomato itself?

I don't know if you have this brand in the states, but Unico is safe.

I tired tomato paste once last year and got soooo sick! I haven't dared try any tomato paste or sauce again. I don't know for sure if it was the tomato paste, but that was the only new food I ate that day. Thanks everyone for sharing the brands that are safe. I'm tempted to try one. I really miss it on my pizza.

The only one I've ever heard of was Contadina's Tomato Paste w/ Italian Seasonings. It's probably a flavoring issue.

I use Contadina paste and tomato sauce. Both are the regular kind.

For those of us that can't eat NIGHT SHADE VEGGIES I was told tomato's fall into that category.

I'm Italian and miss it more than I can express...

I use tomato paste quite often - the only ingredient listed is tomatoes.

Are you guys saying there is wheat in them? I can't get any of those brand names mentioned - just use ordinary grocery store brands.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.
