Yes, LauraSue gave good advice. How much fiber are you taking right now? What kinds have you tried? Sometimes it's just a matter of one kind not working as well as another. Benefiber makes me WORSE, but citrucel and acacia really help. You are right about the protein. I wasn't getting enough and I've upped that too and have tons more energy! Try soy/rice protein powders in smoothies, turkey, chicken, salmon with a good soluble base. 3oz of poultry or fish is about 25g of protein. Eat that twice a day and some egg whites in the morning and you'd be set.

I think massages help to reduce stress and relax your body--and you feel good for treating yourself every now and then

Are you exercising enough? Drinking enough water? I know when I don't do those I feel icky. Or for instance, right now, I have MAJOR stress and my tummy's a lost cause in spite of everything. I know that in 2 weeks it'll be over and I can go back to feeling more normal.

For now, I'd try increasing fiber supplements and water and see what happens. That's not too hard to work into your day. Good luck!
