It is quite possible that when beans are milled to produce flour the process removes the offending FODMAP. And it could depend on the type of bean. For example, while soy products are not FODMAP friendly firm tofu which is produced from soy is friendly. The reason it is safe is that the offending FODMAP is removed during the production of tofu from soy beans.

Yes - it is a bit complicated. We have so many foods prepared in so many different ways that it is going to take a few years before we have a good understanding of exactly which foods are friendly and which are not.

While some dairy products don't contain FODMAPs it is quite possible that they can aggrevate IBS symptoms for other reasons other than their FODMAP content. You will have to figure this out for yourself.
