Hello guys. I hope you are all doing good and enjoying the summer.

I just recieved this fun Special Diet cookbook that calls for rice flour (I unfortunately have a rice intolerance!) or I can substitute the rice flour with garbanzo/fava bean flour. My question is, is the garbanzo/fava bean flour IBS safe? I read in the cookbook that people that have a condition called glucose-6-phosphate dehydogenase (G6PD) deficinency should avoid this flour, because fava beans cause digestive problems. I am not sure if us IBSers would be okay with this or should also avoid it. I have never heard of this type of flour before and would love to hear from anyone who has tried it or heard about it. Right after reading that I got online and decided to post on the board.

Thanks for listening,

Sheri
