there is this link, which shows that some of the raw veggies out there are not so offending. I am quite sensitive to IF but do well with SFS and even alone, I can eat raw bell peppers, raw cucumbers, raw carrots, raw iceberg salad. In reasonable quantities of course. I can also eat walnuts or hazelnuts, not ground (grinding doesn't make a difference) but there it's the fat content that I have to be careful about so I literally eat something like 3 walnuts maximum in any one meal. 3 walnuts have negligible amounts of fibre.

Can't think of any other solution.
Perhaps toasting bread - makes it more crunchy.
And shrimp as a protein source is not as soft as chicken.

--------------------
now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)

before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010

FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml

[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
