stool softeners are usually some type of lubricant, and they are considered laxatives, and are not to be used regularly. Check here for info web page

Soluble fiber is something that everyone needs in their diet, that can be eaten and/or taken as a supplement every single day forever, with no side effects and lots of health benefits. Check here for info web page

Zelnorm should be fine with soluble fiber, don't know about using it with stool softener. That's mixing meds, and your doc would know.

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water every day - soluble fiber needs it to work.

Best,
Heather
