Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, she should stop the laxative and stool softeners and should shift to motility agents like domperidone or itapride.
Also, mebeveramine can be used if the sensation persists. If this same stool persists beyond one week, stools analysis to rule out amoebic infection should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
