Has anybody else had this problem? I have an ileostomy and am using Coloplast high-output bags at night. My problem is that I have to use a CPAP machine at night because of sleep apnea. I apparently swallow air as I sleep, which fills the bag with air and causes some leaking problems. I talked to my doctor, and they act like they have never heard of this before. Anyway, to avoid leaks, I'm having to vent the bag several times per night, which makes getting good sleep difficult. Has anyone else experienced this and found any solutions?
