Really Good Hummus Dip (Gluten-Free)

It's super weird that you are able to enjoy chickpeas as a celiac... It is common practice for chickpeas and wheat to be rotated crops so cross contamination happens in the field at times, and furthermore in storage. I haven't been able to find a single brand of chickpeas I can enjoy, despite rigorously cleaning them. My doctor initially suggested it may be a chickpea allergy, but after researching up the supply chain, I found information that suggests chickpeas are dangerous for celiacs.

They are gluten-free, but your doctor is likely correct--you could have an intolerance to them that is separate from your celiac disease.

My daughter has violent celiac disease. She is fine with chickpeas, hummus, falafel, etc. If you suspect cross-contamination, it is extremely easy to hand-separate any wheat berries from chickpeas, because they are look very different. I don't believe chickpeas absorb gluten from any wheat they may have contacted during processing. If you react after eating chickpeas that you have manually separated yourself, then the reaction is to chickpeas.

It is more likely she has an intolerance to chickpeas, as they are gluten-free.

Chickpeas are Legumes and so are a starch that some people with Celiac are not able to break down as they have not collected enough digestive enzymes.  Just like with lactose intolerance it is not related to gluten but is more noticeable when you are not sufficiently recovered in your intestines
