When I first had my ileostomy three years ago I was ever gasy. Now, it's unreal. I avoid everything I should but it doesn't make a difference...Any ideas?
Hello Jennpen.
What make of bag do you use? I only ask because I know that there has been many complaints about the new filter in some of the Coloplast bags. I have had a problem my self with the One piece Assura drainable bag. I find that the bag is ballooning more than it used to,especialy at night.

They sent me home on the assura products. 2 piece. I like it but the filter doesn't work at all and it fills up with alot of gas. I have been suggested to try hollister new image..Have you heard anything about that product?
No I am afraid I have only ever used the Assura so I can't help you there.
I have used things in my bag that soak up watery output and are supposed to help with gas. Maybe you could give those a try. I havn't used them for ages though so I am not sure if they were made by OstoMart or salters. Look up the different aplience companys on the net and see what accessories they have,there might be somthing that will help with your gas problem
Sorry I cant be of more help.
