I have switched to a mostly plant based diet as well, but still eat egg whites and a couple pieces of meat a week. I also do shakes with pea protein.
Legumes for me 2-3 times a week. Your system should get used to it, I don't have any issues but always had beans weekly even before focusing on more recently.
One thing you could try is a product called "beano", an enzyme that helps prevent excessive gas. I had an acquaintance that swore by it.
Keep up the good work,
