Low-FODMAP pizza sauce

If you are not familiar with low-FODMAP food choices you may be missing a crucial element to keeping your tummy troubles at bay. Many athletes suffer from gastro-intestinal distress, but plug through training thinking “running (or riding) it off” will work. If this is true for you, a low FODMAP eating plan might be of interest.

Start with this list here for some of the lowFODMAP foods from Kate Scarlata, nutritionist and FODMAP specialist.

In addition we are sharing one of our own low-FODMAP pizza sauce recipes:

1 jar strained tomatoes (We use Bionature Organic Strained Tomatoes)

1 can tomato sauce (we use Wholesome Pantry or any other without onion and garlic works)

2 tablespoons tomato paste (We use Muir Glen Organic)

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning (parsley, sage, thyme , etc.)

1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions:

In a bowl mix the following in order:

1. All dried herbs

2. Sugar

3. Salt

4. Tomato paste

5. Olive oil

6. Cider vinegar

   Now stir with spoon until well blended

7. Add tomato sauce and stir to blend

8. Add strained tomatoes and stir to completely well blended

9. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature; then it is ready to spread on the pizza!
