Hey, another food suggestion that she should try: edamame. You can buy them pre-shelled at United Noodle for $1.69/pound in the freezer section. (They're more expensive at the Rainbow.) They are not at all like any other form of cooked bean, IMO. I really disliked kidney beans, etc., for a looooong time for texture reasons -- they tended to suck up moisture when you bit into them, and then stick in my throat. I HATED that as a kid. Edamame are completely different -- the texture is a little like fresh corn. They have a flavor but it's very mild and not at all bitter. They are extremely high in protein.
