My stool softeners and miralax aren't working, how come?

@h8bigbiz I'll bet it is improving your mood and your heart strength, at the very least. Muscle weighs more than fat; I don't believe walking has helped me loose weight either, but it's kept me "fit". As for digestion, if walking hasn't helped that issue, there must be another problem. Dairy stops my digestion, but I know others wouldn't have that issue. Every body is different. Keep searching and trying other things. I hope you will let us know what you discover. The Docs certainly don't have a good handle on digestion.

Thanks for the kind words, however, I know all this walking hasn't replaced fat with muscle because my clothes still fit the same. And I know it hasn't improved my mood because the whole time I'm walking I'm thinking "I'd rather be reading or be online than doing this boring old physical sh*t!" So I'm about ready to dispense with the walking; I swear my digestion's gotten worse since starting it. Since I was born with this almost non-functional digestive tract, I've spent close to a quarter of a century and have tried everything (so has every medical professional I've consulted) and nothing has worked so I'm pretty sure there's nothing left to try; thanks anyway, though for the kind words.
