John, let it pass and wear loose pants......... Do u  have a filter on your pouch? Is it old? not working? Sometimes our intestines can knot up or twist just because.. so, that may be it.. also--  Nothing to worry about my Dr. said-this can happen-but if a lot of pain come see me she said.. I had to take off my NU-Hope pouch again-today as it blew up like crazy -gas--(has no filter) and had back up--Well,, Nellie broke loose big time and happier now-- I think that I/we r eating to  much lately-- mostly me- trying to gain weight- (didn't work) so back to eating less and little during the day- not a full stomach-- As u said which I never thought of= the mind doesn't hear the stomach its has enough.. so I kept eating until I was satisfied.. Another health issue of wellness for us ostomates to THINK of..  And yes, John, drinking more during eatings.. helps I think and I need more as u all know my Club Med visits 3 x a week-- DONT FORGET-NO STRAWS  !!!!! Gives gas......too.. Fun being an Ostomate huh??? 

Best passage to u John.. Marcie......  

Still feel like I have lead in my tummy-- How about you Barb? 

HI Marcie, don,t use a pouch with a filter, any time it fills with gas I burp it. Eric done an interesting blog on it. great tip just be careful until you get used to it !! Some times we are our own worst enemy I really have to stop myself going to the cupboard when I am up during the night.

Burp?  I always make a mess. Yes, I have watched that blog many times..But I am always empting--so maybe I cant identify with some of you with the full gas issues.. Until lately-- As least its in the bag huh?  

Hey John, 

Is your stomach just becoming distended or are you having a lot of gas that goes along when it happens? 

Hey Eric, yep the tummy feels distended, the amount of gas or output would not seem to be enough to cause it.

John, do u still have your gull bladder?  If so, a Gull Bladder attack can cause feelings of bloating all around in any area of this area, Doesn't have to be localized..  Pain and or pressure can go up into your shoulders-all over--like your having a heart attack--IF this goes on longer-get to a Dr. Gas  pains are very painful-- I thought that I was having a lost fart so to speak- (that is a common saying in the ER like noting is wrong--haha) then I got into a real mess. IF you can take a nice hot/or vey warm bath to relax your mussles, Have a nice cup of tea/grape juice warmed during this.. try to relax.  If there is anything  like your pasta? this will help relax the mussles.. and things should pass a bit- the gas has to be moved around.  Gas does not have to be extended only into your pouch......... I get this sometimes also now and then-- But --- not like the Gull Bladder experance that it ended up to be after a bit of these feelings that your having.. If your up to it, more walking is best-- (can be tireing I know)  *and grape juice is good to pass a blockage-- just grape juice ONLY!! *** IF it is a blockage--but anything to get this feeling out of your system-- u can only try to help yourself if and IF you need to see a Dr. U can tell them u tried what is within proper directions of home remedies on  a light side as an Ostomate.. Hope you feel better soon, Marcie..... Keep that smile !!!!!!!!!! :-) sometimes we just have to grin and bear it.. 

Stay out of the PUBS for a bit huh? Best, M.

Cheers Marcie

John, are you at the pub or the lounge?????? the lounge have tubs for your nice hot bath...

How r u feeling now????????? M.

Hey John

I think you said before that you generally eat small meals and snacks instead of large meals . Have you changed and started eating larger meals ? How about your overall eating of what you eat and drink have you changed any of that besides the pasta ?

Evening Robert, I am a creature of habit and each days eating is pretty much the same, I had this a few years back but not as bad. its a pain in the butt (front butt) but hey der are worst things. If it is pasta I will be gutted as I love the stuff.

Robert thinks that you should eat corn and bacon.......... :-)

Robert, he is at the pub... AGAIN ---- 

John is no dummie--he is having a bath at this time so don't expect him to answer right away-- (if he knows what is good for him) and YES,  men takes baths.. Most do now as of being an Ostomate.. He wont drown-as he/we have our own floating device..:-) "puff the magic dragon" Peter, Paul and Mary-- love them too-- 

Hi Marcie 

Yes men take baths lol . I like one myself once in awhile but haven't had one since I got my (Norman) (finally decided on a name) . And heck ya Marcie corn , bacon n maybe a few beers . Lol . -:)  John what was the outcome the last time this happened ? 

Well, I think that the both of you need a nice bath-- don't drink beer during this as your Norman will make bubbles and your floating devise? well, you will see a lot of that popping up and down and around..........   Have the beer after the bath and a new suit for Norman-- :-)

Norman huh? nice-- sing it ---norman,  oho h norman,---norman my -- MY LOVE .. lalala ddalalada_____ this is you  and John at the pub.. another fly on the wall. gonna tell----------

How r u feeling John?  still feeling  kinda stuffed up inside? ----- feel well. m.

John probably sleeping now . Ya Marcie I thought Norman when all is well he's normal Norman but when he's acting up hes storming Norman ! Lol . I know this isn't the lounge . Hopefully we will hear from John in the morning  .

Hey Eric, yep the tummy feels distended, the amount of gas or output would not seem to be enough to cause it.

I won't even hazard to guess what it could be, but if it's troubling you enough I'd check in with your doc to see if they can find a cause.

If it's good related then keeping a food diary should help you nail down the culprit (and I hope it's not the pasta 🍝). 

Cheers for all the advice, Its worth a visit to see the doc, funny the last visit to see my GP he had made an appointment with a dietitian for me. The reason back then was its been years since I seen one so will ask where I am with that. keeping a food diary will do, at this time the pasta seems to be the main culprit and bread also on the list.

Drink lots of water John............................ 

Evening all, not as bad today, tummy feels a little tender. if its not too much information I really feel like a good FART would sort things out LOL

John

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better . Like Marcie says plenty of aaaa fluids burp n let the fart rip if you can ! Get the gas out !
