Hey Ginger!
See if you can tolerate fat free cottage cheese (or low fat, anyway -- I know you are not trying to lose weight but I think the lower fat varieties might be easier on the tummy). They are a great snack. They don't really taste like much but they are packed with protein and they keep me full. I know both of my SILs had terrible constipation with their pregnancies, and neither of them has IBS, so I don't know if things like cheese are the best idea, but I guess you can experiment. How about Luna bars, too? Aren't they pretty high in protein (though also high-ish in carbs?) At least they would be better than a muffin. My mom likes Pria bars too -- you could check out the ingredients in them and see where that gets you.
I don't really have a lot of ideas for avoiding carbs as far as snacking goes. I think I just have some kind of crazy willpower -- I tell myself muffins and things are off limits, and then I just don't want them anymore. One thing I really liked was making merengue cookies with splenda, but if eggwhites are a problem for you, then those are probably out.
Do you like nuts? They're a great snack -- lots of fiber, protein, healthy fats.
Hurry up and have that baby -- I want to see pictures! I really almost ate my nephew this weekend at his baptism. His legs look like little creamy sticks of butter and he's just delicious! I'll try to post pictures at some point.
Hope that helped!
