A member asked:
I eat a very high fiber diet. will this make the bag explode if i have too much gas in my system?

Probably not: I am not sure what you mean by "bag explode." do you have a colostomy, or is there a surgery done to create a pouch? If so, these are not likely to rupture or perforate based on a diet rich in fiber. Keep consuming!

No: A high fiber diet is good for you. Do not worry about gas. Take probiotics.
