This topic is about finding ways to reduce the gurgling and noise that can come from a stoma, which some people notice becomes more pronounced as they get older. One person shared their experience of relying on products like Gas-X and Beano, but they are looking for more effective solutions. Here are some helpful tips and insights from others:

1. Track food triggers: Many people have found that certain foods can increase gurgling. Keeping a food diary can help you identify which foods might be causing more gas and allow you to limit or avoid them.

2. Eat marshmallows: Some have discovered that eating a few regular or mini marshmallows just before meals or when the gurgling starts can help quiet the stoma.

3. Over-the-counter products: Continuing to use simethicone tablets like Gas-X and enzyme tablets such as Beano (alpha-galactosidase) can be quick and standard options for reducing gas.
