I had an ileostomy for 4 years. Reversed, and moved to a colostomy on the other side of my abdomen. I have not changed my diet and I'm finding that my colostomy stoma makes a lot of "gas noises". My ileostomy was virtually silent compared to this. Can anyone tell me if that's normal or should I call my doctor/stoma nurse? I usually ask here first for help before consulting the medical people. (Reversal was due to a parastomal hernia and a minor prolapsed stoma)
