Serving size, prep, and portion notes for hummus
Hummus is a double FODMAP hit: the chickpea base is high in galacto-oligosaccharides and the garlic adds fructans on top, which makes it a classic bloating trigger even though it looks like a plain, healthy dip. The tahini brings sesame into the mix as well, so hummus is worth flagging if you are managing a sesame allergy. A couple of tablespoons is usually tolerated, while loading a plate is where the gas tends to start.
Watch for
High in galacto-oligosaccharides from the chickpeas, one of the main FODMAPs behind bean-related bloating and wind / Garlic adds fructans, so hummus stacks two different FODMAPs in one dip and tips high FODMAP quickly / Made with tahini, which is sesame paste, a top allergen to watch if sesame is one of your triggers / Portion matters: a small scoop can be fine while a heaped plate reliably brings on gas in sensitive guts
