Pizza Sauce and the low FODMAP diet
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.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.
FODMAP group
Group information helps organize reintroduction challenges and possible stacking.
What can change the result?
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.
