I am in need of recommendations on the best ostomy bags to use. I am currently using the Sensura Mio Convex system, which I like, except that when I have output, it always gets sucked up in the pre-filter, and when that happens, it loses its effectiveness (ballooning, odor, etc.). I started out with Hollister's see-through, no-filter bag. Though it worked okay, I didn't like the balloon effect when I pass gas, so any recommendations would be appreciated. I have a colostomy, by the way.
