I have totally eliminated any food that is even remotely spicy in any way or acidic except a bit of lemon juice here and there. I dont eat any veggies at all (I eat veggie pasta when I can to get the vitamins and I will eat artichokes) because it has a hard time putting them out and it gets stuck coming out. I have had a bag on and off for over 7 years now. Literally almost every single night I allow myself to fall totally asleep I wake up to a bag filled with air and, most of the time, a leak. Thanks for reading and hopefully someone will have some ideas because its driving me nutters! To sleepp either under a chuck from the hospital or a towel or my sheets get ruined! I can't tell you how many clothes this problem has ruined and I have to be sure t If anyone has any ideas for me please let me know because I am at my wits end. I even have a bag with a filter that is supposed to stop this from happening. It is bad enough that I have insomnia so when I do get a chance to get some sleep I really want to take advantage of it and I can't because of this.ĭoes anyone have this problem? Can anyone give me tips on what I can do? I mean I make sure to cut myself off from food by 5pm and I only take sips of water or something through the night. It doesn't happen to me during the day if I take a nap.just at night. I don't know if anyone else has this trouble but I find that everytime I try to sleep at night my ostomy bag fills up with air to the point where it llifts my appliance and I leak! So i have to try to keep myself awake all night so I can monitor it or set a timer so I am awake every 3 hours to check on it.
