Tomato Sauce
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Tomato sauce simmers tomato puree with herbs, oil, and sometimes sugar to create a versatile base. Tomatoes contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and remain highly compatible with sensitive digestion. Traditional recipes occasionally incorporate onion, garlic, or high-fructose stabilizers that increase fructan load during simmering. Commercial preparations frequently add sugar, wheat thickeners, or high-fructose stabilizers to extend shelf life. Omitting alliums and verifying simple ingredients ensures safer consumption.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
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.
