Have colostomy. Two-piece bag! Have excessive gas! Watch what I eat and Beano doesn't work! Have to burp the bag constantly.

Have you discussed getting treatment for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) with your physician? It's usually what causes that and it can be rather painful too.
This is a remarkable community of 40,893 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

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.

Wal-Mart sells a chewable gas control tablet... They work pretty well for me and are not expensive. If you cut out breads and grains from your diet, the gas will not be a problem. Are you a candidate for irrigation?

Hi, what brand bag are you using? I switched to the Coloplast Sensura Mio. In part because it has a good filter that doesn't plug up as often as some other brands, at least that has been my experience.
Good luck!
