Hi - I've never seen fava flour, but I have some chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour. It's called besan, the Indian name, and it's used in a lot of Indian recipes. It does have a distinctive flavor so you'd taste it, especially compared to rice flour. But it should be safe for IBS - and the problem some people have with fava beans wouldn't pertain to IBS either. The problem with fava beans shouldn't carry over to garbanzo beans. It's a very specific disorder, and it's genetic.
