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

I was on Linzess highest dose for about 3 months. I lost too much weight and stopped, now trying to manage with OTC. But my Linzess protocol might help. I kept my dosage in fridge, read somewhere that helps it retain potency. I would take first thing in morning after waking, and would drink 20 ounces of water with lemon..an hour after taking med, would eat breakfast - yogurt, boiled egg, something soft. Would also drink another 20 ounces of cold, lemon infused water. This protocol worked well every morning. Also, walking every morning helps. Cleaned out each morning. Worked, but I lost too much weight.

Thank. you so much for the reply. I'll wait until taking the mid-dose linzess for one month and if still no results I will ask my GI to up the dosage. I will also add your regimen with lemon etc right now! It's unbelievable what we go through. I went through Triple Negative Breast Cancer Stage 3c not long ago - doing very well now and decided to finally try to kick constipations butt like I did cancer! I think the constipation might be more stubborn after all. Regardless of the constipation, I am grateful to be alive each day and make a point of finding joy every day - I count e-meeting you one of those joys. Thanks again.
