I am having trouble with my small ostomy bag that pinches closed or gets a fold in it while I'm sleeping.
Any suggestions. Thanks-Mike

Are you talking about some of those Hollister "mini" pouches? They are fairly new and in my opinion, worthless!! If that is the problem, get bigger pouches. You might want to request samples from other manufactures. Check out Coloplast.

Do you sleep on your stomach? I do sometimes, sometimes that can be a problem.

But let's start with, what type of pouch system do you use and who is the manufacture?

I am using the Holister bag,but not the mini bag. I sleep on my side and the problem bag is draining from the ostomy bag to the gravity bag

Are you talking about a Urostomy??

Yes
