How to reduce gas in the pouch?

I posted about something similar recently as I had so much gas I'm my pouch during the night that it actually pulled my flange away from my body and I had a messy leak. Are you referring to your bag blowing up like a balloon like mine did? As I was told you have to start and look at the foods you eat and drink. For me, I have a two piece bag so if it starts to blow up, I just crack open a little corner on my bag and let the air out and seal it up again

Hi Adriano, I've had good luck reducing j-pouch gas using the Low FODMAP diet, read about it here: http://stanfordhospital.org/digestivehealth/nutrition/DH-Low-FODMAP-Diet-Handout.pdf. I find it still helps even if I don't stick to it strictly, I just keep it in mind and only have small portions once in a while of the FODMAP foods.

Here are but a few of things to try and avoid or at least eat sparingly x
•Nuts
•Cabbages
•Onions and garlic
•Cauliflower
•Asparagus
•Soy products
•Beans
•Cucumbers
•Radishes
•Brussels sprouts

Drinks
•Carbonated and other fizzy drinks
•Sparkling wines
•Champagne
•Dairy products such as milk, cheese or yoghurt
Also eat slowly and really chew the food
