Sounds like severe: constipation and need fast relief. Try fleet saline enema. Ask help from the pharmacist about how to use it. After relief take metamucil and use stool softener so this does not happen again. If fleet saline does not work to to ER.

Can constipation cause smelly gas when you haven't pooped for 2 days? If so how can I get rid of that? I drink plenty of water and eat fiber.

Occasionally after going poop I wipe & it's like clear mucus. I noticed this for years. I think I'm noticing it happens more when my stools are hard. I seem to get constipated if I don't drink enough water for 1-2 days or eat enough fiber. Concerning?
