ileostomy pouch collects a lot of gas

@susanf8 Thanks for the expanded list of gassy foods. Gezzz I eat a lot of those. If I eliminated all of them I think I would have trouble maintaining my weight. That’s another issue I have even without avoiding all those. I’ll have to try cutting them out one at a time.
I have not tried gas-x. I think I’ll try that first.

@dona46 a lot of those foods are part of a healthy diet, and I also like eating them. One idea is to perhaps cook the cruciferae (broccoli, cauliflower, etc) a little more; that helps make them less gassy.
Keeping a food diary and seeing how much gas you have and if it relates to what you are eating might help narrow it down.
