This topic is about understanding why there might be an increase in intestinal gas for someone with an ostomy and exploring possible solutions to manage it. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. If you've noticed more gas than usual, consider whether you've been drinking more carbonated beverages like soda or sparkling water. These drinks are known to cause excess gas, so cutting back might help reduce it.

2. Pay attention to your meal schedule. Skipping meals or having long gaps between eating can lead to more gas. Try to eat regular, evenly spaced meals or include small snacks throughout the day to help manage gas production.
