Can't do tomato sauce
Before low carbing, I would get heartburn any time I would eat tomato sauce. If I made speghetti sauce, Iwould cook it all day, add salt, sugar and wine and then I could have some without much discomfort. I thought it was due to my weight and everything else I was eating.
I have not had any tomato sauce since I started low carbing 7 months ago. I made Chili the other night (no beans, no onions, just meat and seasoning.) I used one can of no sugar tomato sauce. Since it was low in carbs I thought it would be OK. The heartburn came back. I guess I am either allergic to tomato sauce or my system just can't handle the acid.
However, it is no big deal since I am not someone who really misses tomato sauce in any way. Just curious, does anyone know of any good substitutions in case if I wanted to make Chili again or another dish that calls for tomato sauce?
By the way, I can eat tomatoes raw, such as in Salsa, with no ill effects.
