Increased Gas with Urostomy Bag - Anyone Else?

This topic is about experiencing increased intestinal gas after getting a urostomy bag. The person who started the conversation noticed more gas, especially when standing or walking short distances, and is curious if others with a urostomy have had similar experiences. Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people mention that excess gas is often linked to diet rather than the urostomy bag itself.
2. Eating whatever you want can lead to more gas. Reducing or timing the intake of foods known to cause gas, like beans, onions, carbonated drinks, and certain vegetables, can help reduce symptoms.
3. Some individuals accept the extra gas as a trade-off, especially if it doesn't have an unpleasant odor. They try to eat gas-inducing foods when they know they'll be at home.
4. A few people have noticed that intestinal gas tends to increase with age, regardless of the type of stoma.
