Any thoughts on using a system with Pouch liners?

Posted by xxxlt @xxxlt, Apr 16, 2024

I have ileostomy and use Convetec Natura, which I really like, no issues at all. I recently saw an add for a pouch liner, described as when ready throw liner away, insert a new one and your on your way, this can be a game changer. Convetec does not make such a liner. Any thoughts on a system that does have a liner and is as easy to use as Convetec Natura?Thanks, Terry

The many times a day I have to burp it, many times it goes so tight I think it may explode and I have to look for a safe spot. Terry

Gas in the pouch is what causes the bag to ballon. Drinking w/ a straw, chewing gum, eating too fast, and eating gassy foods are what causes your pouch to balloon. Have you eliminated all the above items and your bag is filling up with gas?

My stoma has recently began to make a girgling sound, of course usually when we are at a social event, any thoughts on how to calm it down. Material being passed is usually liquid, prolly need to stiffen that up.

Liners can be used with any ostomy. I use a Convatec 2 piece and use a drainable bag because it has more volume. I use Doggy waste bags because they have more volume and are way cheaper. Doggy waste bags are easier than factory liners for an ileostomy. Liners make camping and outdoor activities a lot easier.
