I'm probably getting between 45-65 grams of protein per day. I've been adding some chopped almonds to my oatmeal or cereal, at lunch a protein bar, chicken or fish for dinner and then another protein bar later or else an ensure protein drink. It dpended on the day as far as me having more or less and where I'm at or what I'm doing. Either way, I still go good. I've also added some more fat to my diet...mostly good fats, like guacamole, peanut butter...I believe the oils in that help as well. Sounds like you are getting a good amount of protein...maybe sneak in a protein bar if you can? Stay with the SFS and plenty of liquid, but try adding an extra half dose of miralax before bed. Don't worry about continuing to drink more liquid afterwards, just make sure you drink enough with the nightime dose. Also, don't be concerned if your tummy is completely empty or not at night...just make sure that one of the doses it is. This is what I have been doing...I know everyone's different and we all hate that...but I'm telling you try it! I've been on Miralax for just over a year,take no SFS, and just now have gotten my poop solid from it after these diet changes. Call it coincidence, I don't know. Try it out for a week..if no go..then stop. Good luck...and may the "force" be with you! Keep with the Triphala too.

Love Jessica
