I can't go anywhere near broccoli or cauliflower. They hurt my stomach too much. I eat more protein than you might because, with my IBS-D, I need the binding action that sometimes comes with the extra protein. You, with IBS-C, might be able to handle broccoli or cauliflower...it's kind of a trial and error thing. Try introducing one thing at a time, and if you handle it well then okay. If you don't, then you know to stay away from it. It just makes it easier to narrow it down if you add just one thing at a time.
I can handle some veg, but they have to be cooked to within an inch of their life and I can't eat a lot, even with a good SF base.
Another thing to consider is your calcium...I take calcium carbonate because I need the binding that it can cause. You might consider calcium citrate...I can't take ANYTHING with "citrate" in it. Makes me crampy and runny. Ugh. (People with experience with calcium citrate, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
