But I've already used commas to add more information to the sentence, how can I fit in more information without parentheses?

Stand over the person reading it and interject.

Consider the humble “em dash” — some people use it to interject a completely different sentence in the middle of another — the next time you’re trying to avoid parentheses.

You can, although probably should not, use semicolons; they can be used to join related statements that could, very frequently, also stand on their own.
