Do either dates or hummus cause gas? (possibly TMI)

[klpmommy]

:blush I had the worst gas last night- it was really gross. Sorry for TMI there.

I can't figure out what I ate to cause it. The only new things I ate yesterday were dates & hummus (not together!). Everything else I ate is typical, normal for me & I know it doesn't cause gas.

Both those foods are high in fiber, so they can do that.

dates do a number on me, and hummus probably would, too. I think your answer is both of them.

:yes2 :O Both of those would do it for me too.

Well, hummus is made from beans & it has garlic, so I would say that would be my first guess....

I was thinking the same thing...that hummus is made from garbonzo beans, so that could do it. I thought dates caused diarrhea/loose stools....so maybe gas too. :shrug :hug2

chickpeas are beans? I didn't know that.

Thanks for the info.

I have many experiences with hummus, I love making the stuff and love eating it even more. I put so much garlic in it, let say 5 cloves! Its so yummy!!! Anyway, I tend to get gassy, and while we are adding TMI, it smells like garlic too!! :blush

Yup, both. Chickpeas are legumes, and are also called garbanzo beans... :)

Yay hummus!
