Reply to "Evening gas when I lie down"

I have exactly the same building of gas at about 3 every day with increasing distention and discomfort.  No gas comes out through these hours.  I have had my pouch for 2 1/2 years.  This problem is fairly new; 2 months.  At about 7 p.m. I start passing gas over an hour or so and the distention subsides only to begin on the same time frame every day. I feel there is a mechanical problem behind the old ostomy; a kink or something. CT scan showed no obstruction but mentioned a soft tissue collection behind the old ostomy.  Doctor didn't seem concerned.  I hate this every day.  My diet is the same as it has been for 2 1/2 years. I take a prebiotic. Can't afford VSL3.  My surgeon is very hard to see and seems rather uninterested in my daily dilemmas.  I am awaiting a new GI.
