This topic is about a clever little trick to help prevent your ostomy bag from ballooning overnight. Ballooning can be a real nuisance, especially when you're trying to get a good night's sleep. Here's a simple method that might help:

1. The idea is to use a piece of plastic wrap to partially cover the filter on your ostomy pouch. This is done when you change your appliance at night.

2. You should cover about the top two-thirds of the filter with the plastic wrap. This helps by blocking direct contact between any discharge and the filter, while still allowing gas to escape.

3. While this method isn't perfect, the person who shared it finds that it significantly reduces the chances of ballooning.

4. A couple of people who tried this tip after watching a YouTube video about it found it to be a great idea. They recommend others give it a try, as it's quick and easy to do.
