Tomato sauce
Tomato sauce is high in Histamine. It also contains moderate levels of FODMAPs, Oligosaccharides and Salicylate. It has low levels of Gluten, Fructose, Sucrose, Tyramine, Nickel and Oxalates. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
tomato is both histamine-rich and a histamine liberator, and concentrated forms (paste, sauce, ketchup, sun-dried) hold far more histamine than the fresh fruit. The riper and longer-stored, the more histamine.
- FODMAPsModerate
concentrated tomato (paste, sauce, sun-dried, ketchup) is higher in FODMAP from excess fructose, and sauces or ketchup often add onion, garlic or HFCS. Fresh tomato in a small amount is lower FODMAP.
- OligosaccharidesModerate
- SalicylateModerate
- GlutenPossible
sauces and condiments can hide gluten from wheat-based thickeners, malt or soy sauce, so they may not be gluten-free. Check the label or pick a certified gluten-free version.
