Adjusting to My New Colostomy and Increased Gas Noises

I had an ileostomy for 4 years. Reversed, and moved to a colostomy on the other side of my abdomen. I have not changed my diet and I'm finding that my colostomy stoma makes a lot of "gas noises". My ileostomy was virtually silent compared to this. Can anyone tell me if that's normal or should I call my doctor/stoma nurse? I usually ask here first for help before consulting the medical people. (Reversal was due to a parastomal hernia and a minor prolapsed stoma)

LOL... My left side colostomy was a noisy bugger... I would just proudly announce, "I tooted!" then give a big ol' grin.

I don’t think mine is very noisy. 🤷‍♂️ Sure sometimes it babbles but nothing out of control. 

My colostomy can get noisy, depending on what I eat.  When it burbles and toots, I pat it gently and say "Shoosh."  

Had some tooting last week during my dentist visit. He just chuckles.

The bacteria in the colon make a lot of gas. The small intestine is a more liquid environment.

My stoma, affectionately named Stanley 😉, loved to announce his presence, but most commonly only at the most inconvenient of times. He'd be silent all morning and on the way to work, and once I sat down at my desk he'd start talking.

On my first day at work, I had prepared everyone I worked near so they wouldn't think I was being rude and fouling the common air supply. 🙃

But for me, gas was common and always noisy.

Back when I was working... engineers started giving me grief, I surreptitiously let loose a big burp. Scattered them quickly.
