How Can Constipation Despite Taking Miralax Suppository Be Treated?

I have been having constipation issues for going on a month now. I have used miralax, ex-lax, suppositories lots of water and I drank a bottle of mag citrate. Nothing worked until the mag. I had an x-ray last week prior to the mag and it did not appear I had a blockage. I went on Monday and the stools were kinda skinny. I had been working out on a regular basis and quit about 3 weeks ago but I have been working on getting back into within this last week. I do have hypothyroidism but my levels are good.
