I have a looped ileostomy and was wondering, does anyone experience a high output a lot during the early hours of the morning? Which causes a lot of leakages?

Glad you asked the question. Yes, I also have a high output. It seems like every time I turn around, I have to empty the darn thing. I cannot even get a good night's sleep. I have to get up around 2 am to empty the bag, but no problem with leaking.

I have a high output also and consequently I use a Hollister Pouch (#3874) with flange #8724. The pouch is the largest one that they offer - 16 inches - and it has been successful in stopping the problem with leaks in the middle of the night.

If that pouch is too long for you to use for daytime wear, you can always use a shorter pouch for daytime and switch to the longer one at bedtime.
