Have you considered super gluing something like a piece of soft flat foam on the inside portion of the bag so it sits on top of the stoma?
I haven't had too much of a gas problem myself but did catch one this morning and it seems that the plastic bag next to the stoma causes a lot of the sound to be amplified.
I'm guessing what is occurring is the digestive enzymes (gut bacteria) are digesting food and producing a lot of gas as a result..so quantity of food eaten at one time may be responsible for gas because the bacteria keep multiplying and the more food is more fuel and more gas produced. However I suspect as the food runs out that the bacteria quantity starts to diminish. So perhaps more small meals over the course of the day may assist in keeping the bacteria at more manageable gas levels.
Of course some foods just produce a lot of gas all in itself. Unfortunately there isn't much of any warning sign that a stoma fart is about to occur, so it's hard to find a suitable location.
So I'm thinking something that can muffler it a bit but inside the bag instead of outside of it. But outside works for some too.
I'll look into it and experiment some.
