gluten-free Tomato Paste?

Every tomato based item seems to have tomato paste in it as an ingredient. Be nice if they told us what they use to thicken the paste...but they usually don't. I'd like to find out which do and don't so I can at least make my own tomato based stuff using tomato paste.

In Canada, I know that Safeway brand tomato paste is gluten free. The tomatoes are likely thickened by reduction during cooking. I believe other tomato pastes (Hunts, for example) are likely made the same way, but worth checking into individual brands to make sure.

I buy the Wegmans brand here, it says Gluten Free on the jar.

Another Canadian answer: Unico tomato paste is gluten-free. I don't know how widely distributed Unico is. They are in the Toronto area (Concord) and their products are widely available around here.

Unico is definitely available across Canada. ;)

In 5 years I've never found a tomato paste that does have gluten. This is just my experience. I do not claim to have contacted every tomato pasted manufacturer out there.

tomato paste isn't "thickened" with something other than removal of water. you can make your own by simmering tomatoes for *a long time* - though doing that without scorching... that takes a delicate touch. :D

I Googled a recipe for tomato paste to confirm reduction was the method of cooking...and read how long it takes to make, and the patience and stirring required. I'll keep buying mine in a can...way cheaper than the cost of my time and patience! LOL!

I thought the Big Comfy Couch was seen North America wide?

I remember the Big Comfy Couch, with her dolly Molly, my mom's foster child, Jenna loves that show and tried to do the stretches with the girl on it.

      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.

      Scott thank you. Finally found the oreos and they are a winner.

      Hi Scott and Knitty! Thanks for the answers! You are very kind! Let put it this way: 1.I am now confirmed seronegative celiac. My Last push gastroscopy concluded that there is no atrophy and everything is ok in that regard. 2. From diagnostics perspective so far i have done multiple intestinal TUS, Mr Enterography, Multiple wide spectrum blood tests, Normal gastroscopy, Push gastroscopy(duodenum and jejunum)., Multiple X rays,Swallow test barium....i mean the whole package... 3. from doctors perspective i am in touch with 2-3 gastroenterologist, immunology and rheumatology doctor and general physician...and with psychiatric doctor. My problem is that i am still feeling like "s$#&" EVERY DAY even now when i am on GFD and i am still losing weight with very little energy through day. When i lay down, i do not feel pain or discomfort but during the day i feel bloated, intermitten pain in abdomen(usually upper QD and around belly), discomfort throught whole abdomen and other parts of body and with very little energy. I am trying my  best to be 100 % GFD but i am on very light mediterian food diet. I am currently on gfd  13 months (with small mistakes) Currently i am on ppi 20mg in the morning, now drinking ensure plus because of muscle and weight loss. My diagnose procedure is now lasting almost 3 years and since then i have lost 13-15kg. Please but please i am currently losing my mind...is there anybody who is going through this kind of hell like me? What more can i do? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Matt

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.
