Rectal Stump Mucus causes extreme pressure and discomfort (no pain)

Has anyone ever used a Fleet sodium phosphate enema for rectal stump mucus? With what results? The new ostomy nurse has suggested that I use one a day for seven days to clear the discomfort which is plaguing my life right now. I tried one this morning and it did remove some darkened mucus ...the mucus is usually just like egg white threads.
Has anyone ever tried a Fleet mineral oil enema? Somehow it just doesn't appeal to me. It's 100% mineral oil and nothing else.

I have an ileostomy I also have drainage from rectal stump. I have the ileostomy since 1974. After my surgery I used gauze to catch drainage. For the last couple of years drainage has begun again. A colo-rectal surgeon attempted to find out why the drainage had started again. I have a canal next the opening to my rectal stump but was unable to go up the canal to find anything. I also have a pea sized perfectly round yellow ball in my stool on occasion. So strange!! Not "corn"!! They have seen on different, CT scans 2 different sizes of what appears to be a small growth in my abdomen. No explanation help?
