certain foods cause leakage and/or adhesive breakdown?

Has anyone else experienced either a leakage or a wafer breakdown from certain foods? It seems like if I eat to much acidic stuff (e.g., tomato products, Gatorade), the seal around my stoma poofs up more and I can feel more skin irritation below. And, yesterday, I had some beets and had a total leakage blowout! Just wondering...

Thanks,
Mandy

I've noticed that since I got on nexium and immodium, I tend to leak alot more. My stoma lays over to the right and I think from sleeping on my right side, the output lays there instead of flowing down like liquid output.
