Seafood is safe, egg whites are safe.

If you slowly add in beans/lentils (soy milk counts) your gut will get used to the raffinose (bean sugar). If you have FODMAPS restrictions for beans/lentils account for those, but if you don't this will be pretty easy.

Try adding 1/4 cup soy milk a day for a week - that usually does it. Then soy in all forms is a safe protein, and you can add in well cooked (pureed if you want) beans and lentils.

Red lentils disintegrate when cooked, and are usually well tolerated. Blending white beans into a dip or spread is also good.

Just start slow with beans and lentils - most Americans don't eat much, so they have no raffinose tolerance. That's an easy fix though!

Oatmeal is also decent for protein, and you can use nuts in smaller quantities, finely ground. Or add a little nut butter to soluble fiber foundations.
