Hi Sarah, thanks for reaching out! It’s wonderful to hear about your dedication to a vegan lifestyle. While legumes are a common source of plant-based protein, there are still other options you can explore to meet your protein needs without aggravating your sensitive stomach.

Consider incorporating seitan (vital wheat gluten), tofu and tempeh (from soy beans but they may be easier on your stomach), quinoa, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and certain nuts and seeds (like pumpkin seeds and almonds) into your diet. These are protein-rich alternatives that might be more gentle on your stomach. Here’s more information on vegan protein sources for you to explore. Also, consulting with a registered dietitian can provide personalized recommendations to ensure you’re meeting your nutritional goals in a way that suits your individual needs and preferences.

Wishing you the best on your vegan journey!
