I have been using Hollister urostomy pouches for my ileal conduit now for a few months. I have never had problems with ballooning until now. What could be causing this? This is for urine drainage, not stool, so I don't know what causes the ballooning. TIA

Get checked out by your urologist. You may have an infection. Some infections can produce gas.

I've had a urostomy for 9 months now, and I have never had gas in my bag. Stones, but not gas.

Short review. MAOM has helped me feel better by helping others it made me feel useful, worthy, important. It took my depression away. The more you use the site the more you get out of it.
