sugar free def the way to go for that. Just cause one time you try it and it was tolerable doesn't mean the next time will. The pouch is crazy that way! There are some really good sugar free popsicles out there.
Sugar hard candies can be helpful..BUT..there's always a but, the sugar free candies even the hard kind can cause diarrhea sometimes so that's a 'be careful' choice. if your doc allows sugar free gum you might try that.
Some docs don't recommend gum due to the worry that if you swallow it it will plug up the stoma opening...like..really now..are we little kids to be worrying about swallowing gum??..LOL
