- avoid too much fiber
- avoid too many lectins
I'm experiencing some abdominal pain again and it's probably due to the peas. So even those are relatively bad news... yet, I'd love to incorporate more of them in my diet.
How do you go about?
- eat them often enough so you get used to it (that's for digestion of the undigestable starches), this can be helped with specific enzymes (like Jarrozymes).
- or avoid them nearly completely and then bam.. a lot of it at the same time and then let the gut repair itself again ?

I'd probably add something with chickpeas - and something simple - perhaps some hummus or a few chickpeas in a curry - just to not overwhelm with "bean-ness" compared to having a full serving of white beans or some such.
