UCLA has a good article on protein and how much you need for building muscle.
Check the table at the bottom of the 3rd page. Muscle building requires 0.8 grams/day of protein per lbs of weight. So if you weigh 170 lbs you need about 136 grams of protein per day.
Immediately after the table there is an interesting section that says "As you can see, active individuals--especially those trying to build muscle--do need more protein than sedentary persons. But, contrary to what many body building magazines and Internet sites suggest, protein powders and amino acid supplements are unnecessary and a waste of money. It is very easy to meet your protein needs with moderate portions of real food. In fact, the average adult consumes almost twice the RDA for protein without even trying."
You should be able to get all the protein you need from the chicken, turkey, fish, seafood and egg whites in your regular meals without adding any protein supplements.
1) Almost everyone is tempted to eat sweet, salty and fatty foods not just IBSers 
2) Mayo contains other things not just fat that could be a problem. For example, if check the ingredients for Hellman's mayonnaise. It contains canola oil, water, liquid whole eggs, vinegar, liquid yolk, salt, sugar, spices, concentrated lemon juice and calcium disodium EDTA. The ingredients in bold are IBS triggers - note that since the spices are not given you have to be suspicious of which spices are included. Onion and garlic powder are definitely problems for me.
