Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating

It's been a while since I posted an update, so I wanted to share what I did and see if I'm on the right track. I switched the mode to auto, and then set the PS to 5 and set a max ipap of 18. (originally the mode was set to S and the EPAP and IPAP were 10 and 20. The stomach bloating is much better. ...

Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating

I noticed when reviewing the charts, it seems like a lot of nights I turn the machine off pretty early in the AM. I knew I was doing that, but I'm kind of surprised how often. I tend to wake up around 2 - 3 am, and due to my stomach hurting, I can't fall back to sleep and then just turn it off. I've...

Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating

Hello All - Thanks for the replies so far. I'm still pretty new to this, so I don't know what some of the acronyms means. Someone referenced CA's. I'm not sure what that is. Also about the mode, I'm not sure what S is verses Auto. I'm looking for the clinical manual to do some reading. As for the se...

He said try some Beano. I did, and it didn't help..... In the reading I've done, it seems like users are...
