What to know about garbanzo beans
Garbanzo beans, better known as chickpeas, are high-FODMAP but their trigger profile is different from kidney or black beans: they are high in both fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), a double oligosaccharide hit that ferments in the gut. The good news is they are otherwise clean, low in histamine, salicylate, oxalate and nickel, and a small canned-and-rinsed portion (about a 1/4 cup) is actually low-FODMAP.
Watch for
- High in fructans as well as GOS, so chickpeas carry two fermentable FODMAPs where most beans mainly carry GOS, which can mean more gas and bloating
- A small canned, drained and rinsed portion (roughly 1/4 cup) is low-FODMAP; the trouble starts with larger servings and with dishes that pile them on
- Hummus stacks the odds: the chickpeas bring fructans and GOS, and the garlic adds still more fructans, so hummus is often less tolerated than a measured portion of plain chickpeas
