Ileo Gas - Night time

[guest78]

Hi everyone
I have had my stoma since June 6th and have noticed that at night time the bag fills with gas. This isn't a problem in the day but it does happen every night. I don't eat or drink anything specific before going to bed so not sure why it only happens at night.
Any clues?

It happens to every single one of us. I usually have to get up a few times to let the air out (my fiance hates it when I burp in bed...lol). I guess when we used to be 'normal', we'd just fart and keep on snoring.

It's very frustrating! I just got Osto EZvent which can attach to any pouch to help with burping it. I'm not sure how practical it is but I'll let you know. I took gas X last night and it helped reduce the gas a little. Maybe that could help you.

It always happens to me. I just wake up and empty it. Burping it in bed can be dangerous!

I find burping in bed is ok if I turn on the light and sit upright.

Trio Diamonds are suppose to help with ballooning. I received some as samples and while I did have overnight gas both nights I tried them, it wasn't the OMG THE BAG IS ABOUT TO BURST type gas, so maybe it did work. Two nights wasn't enough to make a firm conclusion, but these are expensive, so request samples for yourself before you drop some money on them -they aren't cheap!

Who sent you those samples? Ostomy secrets which sells them wouldn't send.

www.convatecdiamonds.com I'm in Canada and they were able to send samples. Their website suggests that they'll send them anywhere in the world.
