You are in a great seafood area! Stick with the resaurants that you like and order any of the seafood as long as it is not fried. When you get to know people there you can have them recommend places to eat. Try the fish tacos, you may be pleasantly suprised. Be sure to squeeze on the lime for extra flavor. These tacos are usually served on soft corn tortillas. The shrimp in your area is almost always excellent. Trying to find US food is going to cause you stress. It is sometimes out dated and always over priced. Eat the native quisine, in your area, that will be the safest. Try the "Aquas"(fruit drinks) and the "Paletas"(popcicles) they are made with fresh fruit.
"Pina" is pineapple, "Fresa" is strawberry, "Sandia" is watermelon, "melon" is cantaloupe. Your husband can tell you what the others are when you find a vendor. "Horchata" is a good rice drink with plenty of soluble fiber. When I am there, I always have Papaya with breakfast and some more in the evening. Papaya is a good food for digestive problems and is readily available almost anywhere in Mexico. If you are a IBS-C, you can try the "pina-colada" aquas since coconut is a pretty good diaretic(I can not spell). None of these drinks that I have suggested have anything in them but the fruit and water. In the off seasons some will have sugar.
I wish my husband could get transfered to Mexico for a while, I love it there. Get to know the locals and let them know your dietary needs. You will be suprised at how helpful they can be, Especially the older ladies.
Sorry to have rambled, if you have more specific questions, just let me know.
