I hope so 

My doctor said I eat too much vegies and fruit ... I got to leave some room for proteins.
Last appointment he how I was doing on protein consumption.
My first answer was what time is it; he said 1PM to which I replied that I have not had lunch yet and so was at 114%DV and with planned dinner I had calculated that I would end at 300%DV (without lunch) so fruit for lunch should be justified ... he agreed.
I have to have my fruits or will go nuts (pun). Sunday I shopped for a weekly supply of fruits: 15 oranges an dozen large apples, 10 pairs, lots of Thai chili, a pine apple, plus more. Speaking of nuts Brazil nuts (my favorite) is 10%DV for 4 nuts (no sodium, no cholesterol, but high in "good" fat).
That is my story and I will stick to it.

GI pain is among the worst.
In the US doctors like you to describe you pain in numbers 1-10. One time in ER (recently) with a 10, I was thinking about how many time I had experienced a 10 in my life. I came up with four and two gas GI, both hurt every bit as much as wine I accidentally sanded off 2 and 3 mm of two fingers.
The first episode started in an airline lounge where I drank 6 cans of tomato just in a bit over 1/2 an hour. During the flight from DTW to ATL the pain hit 8's and 9's in waves. A pilot came to my seat and asked if "we" needed to land this plane, I said "NO, it happens all the time". Truth was that I had all the company's convention material in my luggage and if I did not make the LAX flight the company could kiss the biggest convention of the year goodbye. Made it to ATL and had two hours layover I spent in the Delta lounge four people (incl. a doctor) asked if they should call 911 when I was in a fetal position on a couch. My story did not change, but I hand planed to over Alabama, then declare an emergency. Just as I was leaving the lounge I could feel lots of stomach action, dropper my suit case and brief case and ran to the bathroom an I got there in nick if time and up came 2 liters of tomato juice and some water. My pain level went from 10 to 3 in 30 seconds.
The second time was a couple of months ago I had a big dinner and my intestine popped out of my umbilical in the stomach wall and after one hour of trying to "stuff" it back in it was ER time where they were about to give me morphine and prepare for surgery when it finally got put in.
YES GI pain is nothing to sneeze at and I hope you will be seeing a gastroenterologist who will diagnose you expediently and have a fix, truth of the matter is that the list of possibilities are very long from as minor as bacterial to volvulus.
GOOD LUCK my friend.

Can always add a protein shake to your diet - also provides amino acids as well depending on what type of protein shake. I take it on the rigs to supplement my protein intake as some meals are just too oily for my liking.

Thanks buddy. Yes, one of the most painful things I've ever encountered. It was no easy decision going to the e.r. I knew it would cost me, but I had to.

Most concerning thing is I could not figure out what it was. Many painful things you know the cause.

Morphine didn't do shit. It wasn't until I got home and took 400 mg. of ibupropen did things ease.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was that simple ... like pressing a button and problem solved.

Just kidding about the button, but reality is diets are more complex than just take this or don't take that.
A classic example is when someone needs to lose weight they resort to fewer, if not minimal, calories and the problem will be solved. Never mind vitamins, essential fatty acids (can only come from food, not supplements), protein, minerals. Also many diet foods are high in sodium.
We all have different dietary needs, if not all out requirements and in conditions. I am on a very strict low sodium diet and should aim to 25% normal DV. My protein tests show of normal minimum. Many of these "healthy" protein supplements have less protein and/or more sodium than expected. My doctor said to stay away from bottled health/protein beverages and some powders are even worse. There are indeed good ones of both kinds, but the Gastroenterologist said the best he has found that also taste was wall greens powder which as 4%DV protein and only 100mg sodium which I mix with milk and pour on a bowl of granola. Total sodium 210mg and 90%DV Protein. Add two eggs and the total comes to 300mg sodium and 115%DV protein. A simple hamburger (Atkins burger) and a potato adds  110mg Sodium and 150%DV Protein.
All together lots of Protein and a bit more than 1/2 my personal allowance ... I think I have a winning combination, where some prepackaged protein supplements would be quite bad
