What tomato sauce is it? was: Re: 2% Rule

[Guest guest]

I have a major problem with worrying about food. I found out last spring through

a blood test and skin prick test that I'm allergic to most nuts. However, I

continue to eat the ones that don't seem to bother me. But every time I do, in

the back of my mind, I wonder if this will be the time that I go in to full

blown anaphylaxis.

So the great SCD pizza experiment had mixed results. It was very tasty, so tasty

that I ate 3 tiny pieces (about the equivalent of 1 regular pizza slice). When I

entered this on fitday, I found that this was a whopping 532 calories, with 43g

of fat! So it wasn't a surprise that I woke up this morning with a stomach ache

(which has lingered the whole day) and some heartburn. I think my lack of a

gallbladder made my body a bit unhappy with this sudden deluge of fat (plus, I

had butter on my green beans and lemon curd for dessert, which is super rich

with all the butter in it). I also thought the roof of my mouth felt a little

numb/odd. My almond paranoia coming into play, something in the tomato sauce, or

just my crazy mind making things up?

So, I'll try pizza again, just at a much smaller quantity. Hopefully it will go

over better then.

And for the person that asked what sauce I used, I'm reluctant to say. Someone

at pecanbread says they have a letter, but I have not seen the letter, so I

don't know whether they asked all the needed questions. I'd hate to recommend a

sauce as SCD legal and have it set off a flair for someone if it turns out to be

not-so-SCD-legal. I plan on requesting my own letter, and will share it once I

receive it.

might have an effect " i've eaten plenty of store bought items like bacon,

cheeses, tomatoe paste, crushed tomatoes ect. and never had a reaction. O

recently bought cento brand organic chunky style crushed tomatoes with basil.

Taste is good and no reaction. Same with most brands of crushed tomatoes with

basil. Makes a decent pizza sauce too ( not the chunky style though)
