Red Enchilada Sauce
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Red enchilada sauce blends tomato puree, chilies, spices, and sometimes onion or garlic into a smooth cooking base. Tomatoes and peppers remain low in FODMAPs, but commercial jars frequently add wheat thickeners or high-fructose stabilizers. The spice and vegetable extracts can trigger digestive irritation in individuals with active gut inflammation. High sodium levels may also exacerbate bloating and fluid retention in sensitive individuals. Careful label review ensures alignment with your digestive management plan.

Prepare a homemade version using tomato puree, certified low-FODMAP chili powder, and lime juice to maintain full ingredient control. Dilute the sauce with low-FODMAP broth before use to reduce sodium density and prevent overwhelming digestive tract sensitivity. Always verify that added cornstarch contains no hidden onion or garlic derivatives before incorporating into recipes.
