Hi - both chana dal and chick peas have soluble fiber interiors, and insoluble fiber exteriors (this is pretty much true for all legumes). But, there's a lot more of the soluble fiber, so if you cook the beans well, and even better if you mash them well, they can be really tolerable. If you're new to beans start slowly, try Beano, and gradually increase your amount so you become more proficient at digesting the raffinose (bean sugar) that can cause gas.
