Garbanzo Beans

[Brave Jane]

I have Celiac Disease, and I am on an elimination diet due to other food intolerances. I want to test garbanzo beans next, but I need to find a garbanzo bean product/company that is trustworthy. I want to make sure they weren't packaged on shared equipment. Are there any garbanzo companies out there that you know are safe? No cross contamination? Never make you suspiciously sick? Thanks for any help!

I buy all kinds of brands of canned garbanzo beans and I have never had a gluten reaction.

I get the store organic brand canned beans but have not successfully found a dry bag that is safe. It frustrates me to no end because I like to make my own hummus.

same here - have had garbanzos from  dozens of companies and other than salt and water i've never seen any other ingredients in the cans of plain beans.  I am rather sensitive and never had any reaction from them.

They are usually safe for me. Never had a problem.

I've been sick from ones that come dried in a bag. Brandiwine, have any of you looked into making hummus with an alternative base, like zucchini? It actually works really well!

Beans can be hard to digest especially on a still healing gut.  Something to keep in mind when trying beans. Even after four years I still have some upset if I eat too many.
