High FODMAP (Avoid)High in GOS and fructans

Is chickpea flour low FODMAP?

Chickpea flour is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Chickpea flour is ground from dried chickpeas, so it keeps their GOS and is high FODMAP once used for a flatbread or pancake. A small amount folded into a larger gluten-free mix is the safer way to use it.
