Spaghetti Sauce

Every brand of spaghetti sauce states "tomato paste." Is there a specific brand of spaghetti sauce where the tomato paste doesn't include wheat flour? I have yet to see a brand of spaghetti sauce where it states what makes up their tomato paste so I just haven't bought any. I would love to have some on-hand in the pantry for one of those "quick fix" meals!

Most spaghetti sauces are gluten free. All Classico spaghetti sauces are gluten free per their website's statement. I believe Ragu is gluten free also, but double check that. I don't think tomato paste generally contains wheat flour. I could be wrong though.

Tomato paste is safe. it should not be a problem. I buy canned tomato paste all the time, and I think the ingredients are only tomatoes, maybe water, and salt. Tomato paste is not thickened by a flour. It is tomatos that have been cooked down for a long time.

On the whole, there are a lot more gluten free spaghetti sauces than ones that are not safe. We eat it in our house at least once a week. I have used versions of Ragu, Prego, etc. etc.

Also: for general knowledge, due to the Food Labeling Law of 2006, if there WAS wheat flour (in anything), it must now be listed. Wheat is considered an 8 main allergen and is required to be listed. There can still be some lag in labels, but in general, you should be safe.

Hope this helps and you can now enjoy spag sauce!

Tomato paste is usually tomatoes only. I buy canned tomato paste and tomatoes are the only ingredient on the can.

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      By trents · Posted

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
