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

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.

@h8bigbiz LOL, well you certainly are resistant, I'll give you that. Our bodies are designed to MOVE. Muscle isn't larger or smaller than fat. The mood enhancer will be a result of better circulation (from vigorous activity) to the brain and all other areas of the body, as well as more vitamin D from sunlight. The walking also stimulates the vagus nerve which effects all bodily functions. It's not immediate and it's very subtle. Our foods are drastically interfering with our digestion these days and I'm hoping that will be remedied somewhat by RFKjr! I have to completely avoid dairy, or my digestion STOPS. Even if I'm walking et c. (By the way, Docs are taught to treat the symptoms with drugs/medicines and are not taught to find the causes.) Let's keep talking! there are many treatments to try, short of meds.

Mean to say, "I've spent close to *3/4* of a century...".
