Is this in re raw chickpea sprouts? If so, I'm quite sure it wasn't bacteria, rather some indigestible compound that is broken down with cooking. I didn't have vomiting nor diarrhea, just a couple hours of some minor but noticeable pain.
I have heard about contaminated sprouts though usually from commercial ones. Anyway, bacterial contamination of produce can happen but it's pretty rare in US etc.
