Hi Havok, Certainly see your doctor, or at least call or email, if your doctor responds to that.
But, it could be something in your diet.
I had that kind of symptom with Colace, prunes and flax seeds. Have a think about what you are eating and if you identify a likely culprit, try leaving it out for a couple of days.
The trouble with some stool softeners is that they are not digested well by us, but they are digested very well by our gut bacteria. Hence the gas and even the mucus. I got a lot of semi-diarrhoea with the gas. Hopefully you can find something that helps your stools without causing gas.
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
