Moderate FODMAP
Pizza Sauce
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Pizza sauce blends tomato puree, herbs, oil, and sometimes sugar for a versatile and tangy base. Tomatoes contain negligible FODMAPs, but traditional recipes rely heavily on fresh garlic for aromatic depth. Commercial jars often add onion powder, high-fructose corn syrup, or wheat thickeners to standardize consistency. Those managing ITS should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into recipes. Using small portions and selecting garlic-free alternatives ensures safer consumption.

Simmer tomato puree with olive oil, basil, and a small amount of brown rice syrup to eliminate fresh allium triggers. Avoid commercial jars that list onion powder or high-fructose corn syrup near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Heat gently and stir frequently to prevent scorching and preserve bright red color and fresh flavor.
