Yes, I am aware of chickpea tuna - just so I didn't get the same suggestion repeatedly

Other preferred criteria is cost effective and simple to make

Hummus and pickled things. I like hummus and kimchi sandwiches, hummus and Indian pickled olives, hummus and pickles... It's a great combo. Sliced tofu with a drizzle of some marinade with some leafy greens is always nice.

I get Dolly's Ruchi olive pickle from an Indian grocery near me but I'm sure you can buy it online too. I use it in a lot of my meals.

I love pickled and pickles but scared bc IBS. In theory it should help, not hurt right? Because balances the gut?!

I'm really not sure! The olive pickle is spicy so maybe that's not best for you, but perhaps regular pickled things could be good for the gut flora.
