I'm getting horrible bloat from it again. This morning was the worst and when I woke my abdomen was terribly distended and painful to the touch. I read about how I may need a pressure adjustment, but I don't quite understand this because the pressure is automatic. Any useful tips on how to deal with this?
I can help you here. I had that problem, and still do to some degree. You are swallowing air. This is very common. When it is too uncomfortable in the morning, I take something for gas relief. Another trick I use is unflavored Seltzer water. Any carbonated drink can help, but I am trying to cut out sodas. The carbonation seems to make that air trapped in my stomach break up...and pass easily.
You do not mention the type of mask you use. When I used a full face, I would sometimes put Lansinoh, an ointment for breastfeeding mothers, on the part of the mask that touches my face. Lansinoh will not harm your mask as it is pure lanolin. Petroleum products can. The thin film of the ointment helped create a better seal ****You might just need to try different adjustments with your mask to control this. I also keep an eye ointment handy.
I am not familiar with your machine, so I cannot help you there. Just keep at it. Sometimes the simplest adjustments can bring amazing results.
