Serving size, prep, and portion notes for chickpeas
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are the base of hummus, curries and grain bowls, and they are gentle on most triggers except two: nickel and the fermentable fiber GOS. A standard serving is high in GOS, which is why chickpeas and hummus are such reliable causes of bloating and gas for people with IBS, and they are high in nickel, a concern with systemic nickel allergy. Draining and rinsing canned chickpeas and sticking to smaller portions both make them easier to tolerate.
Watch for
High in GOS, so a full serving of chickpeas or hummus commonly triggers bloating and wind / High in nickel, relevant if you manage systemic nickel allergy syndrome / Poorly tolerated in SIBO because the GOS ferments readily in the gut
