I'm hoping to hear from Moms and Dads who have had issues with their toddlers playing with their own poop, or from anyone who has advice or suggestions on the matter. I'm getting really frustrated

Why would she feel ashamed? Her body produces warm play dough, that feels wonderful to play with, until it gets cold, when it's a bit sticky and not fun anymore?
Playing with poo is perfectly normal, and common, and everyday. Some do it, some don't.
It does drive you wild, and it is very very annoying, but it's not something that she is aware of other than you get out of shape.
With ours, we just let him know it wasn't good to spread it all over the hall, and using it for hair gell was very not a good thing. That it did have to be cleaned up, quickly, and that poo had bad germs that could make him ill, so it should not be a toy. He grew out of it.
I'm sorry that probably isn't more help to you, as having the younger sibling makes it SO MUCH MORE STRESS! :-) But we didn't have a younger sibling around, so there was no problem here with just cleaning it up - we don't have carpet either, so it wasn't that much of a pain in that sense, we could lift clean.
