Well, if you want to take advice from me again, I say to change the diet and eliminate all supplements. Obviously, what you're currently doing isn't working, so why not try something new? Worst that will happen is that you'll still be in the same situation. Now, currently, you're eating a very large amount of fiber and and taking stool softeners, yet still experiencing pain. If you've been doing this for awhile with zero positive results, why not try a different strategy? Try my advice and do a low fiber diet, and stop taking the supplements for a few weeks and see how it goes. If your BM's are less frequent and are smaller, I think that'd be a positive in your situation. Also, have you seen a gastro or CRS yet? I'm definitely not a person who would suggest rushing into LIS surgery, but I'd at least try to get a doctor to prescribe some NTG ointment. Do that, combined with a low fiber diet, and see how it goes. Worst comes to worst, you're still in the same position in a month and have to think about scheduling a consultation for a surgery, a good scenario sees you getting some relief from the pain that's being caused by your very frequent BM's, which may lead to fully healing.
