Well, it may be, but from what I've read hummus ingredients differ from brand to brand. Which brand is it? Post the ingredients if you want.

Riceguy is correct, if its the hummous its either you have another allergy perhaps.(wouldn't be my first guess).. or just that brand or it has gone off. (more later)

Its also ridiculously easy to make your own...no actual cooking

If you buy tinned chick peas (just water and salt added) you can make hummous in seconds in a processor or better still a hand held whisk/processor.

Its just chick peas, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice

There are 101 different variations ... the most common being bi-tahini, literally with tahini which is just ground sesame seeds and oil.... but adding tahini makes it go off very quickly....(literally in a day) and its a specific bacteria that happens with sesame. This could be the cause of your problems.

When I make my own I usually cheat and add sesame oil.... 1/2 teaspoon max per cup of chick peas...

you can also add cumin, coriander and grilled red pepper for instance in different varaitions.... non of these take more than a minute or so to prepare unless you count grilling peppers or sesame seeds ....

Also, it could be cross contamination. Most companies that make hummus also make foods that contain wheat. Definitely make your own.

This really is one of those foods that even a non cook can make blindfolded... and if you start from tinned chick peas you are always going to have fresh and uncontaminated hummous.

maybe you have got a problem with one of the other ingredients? I can't eat loads of garlic for example.

gfp - when you make your own, I assume you drain the chick peas?

Yep, I usually rince them after then just stick em in the blender.

I mean its seriously easy..... everything else is in optional amounts.... like you put olive oil in until its the right consistency/taste... same with garlic etc. so you can't really go wrong.. you just make it how you want it.... its not like baking where the finished product bears no resemblance to what goes in the oven ... you actually get to see/taste and adjust accordingly....

at the gluten-free food demo we've been doing at different health food stores this month, we use canned chick peas (garbanzo beans), tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh cilantro, cumin, and paprika... very simple...

when I make it at home I use plain yogurt instead of tahini and I don't use cumin... there are so many varieties you can make, you can even make it with canned black beans or pinto beans... I've even seen people add salsa to it or just the habanero peppers for some heat...

I also make a quick flat bread to dip in it from any gluten-free all purpose flour mix, water, applesauce, baking powder, baking soda and xanthan gum... mix it to a pancake batter consistency and fry in pan like a pancake... (I don't have specific measurements I just "eyeball" it"!)

You can use any nut butter in hummus to replace the tahini, and it'll taste good. In a pinch I've used sesame oil instead of olive oil with some cashew butter for texture and it turned out great. Different, but great.

As for me, however, I have a terrible time digesting chickpeas. Not an "intolerance," just an ordinary legume thing. I never had to avoid them until these GI symptoms appeared, just like I never avoided spicy foods, or anything else for that matter...now the list of things I sub-concsciously avoid is a mile long. Cucumbers, green peppers, beans, dahl, chickpeas, hummus, etc. Hope I can go back to them once this stomach stuff is resolved.

In the meantime, any gas I get makes me feel super bloated and nauseous, regardless of the source.

gfp-

Thanks for that bit of info about tahini. I never knew. Do you know more about it? Is it something in the butter, or does it apply to the oil, too? I can't imagine it would, but you never know. If so, I suppose the sesame oil innovation would last much longer than the tahini version.

spinach? makes me wonder, what with the e coli outbreak. You probably didn't get enough to make you REALLY sick with it being an ingredient in a spread, but it just makes me wonder.

I'd take GFP's and nini's advice and make your own. I'm gonna try it soon myself :)

If it's spinach from a non-U.S. source, then I guess there wouldn't be an e coli concern.

But with regard to ingredients, just because you weren't sensitive to something before doesn't mean you can't suddenly have a problem with it. This seems quite common if not universal among Celiacs.

I have been eating Athenos when I am traveling.......and no problems....I ahve started making my own though, it really is S I M P L E!!!!! You can add grilled eggplant, or jarred olives or peppers, roasted red or the sandwich slice peppers......the others have already stated the ease of it......go for it and just add until you have the right texture and taste for you.....all you need is a food processor and a can of chickpeas....fabulous!!!!

Do you use just a regular blender....one that you would use for shakes, drinks, etc?

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
