I think sugar alcohols are ok for most people. They can cause diarrhea if you ingest too much.
  
My manual says to stay away from gum and hard candy but I think it's because air will get in your system and cause discomfort.   Swallowing it (on accident) would be bad too. 

I sucked on a few sugar free mints when I had nausea and it helped.  Be careful with them.

mine suggested tic tacs because they are so small.  A piece of hard candy would take a long time to desolve and make your pouch pretty grumpy for a long time...might even have to be removed.

good luck.  Sugar alcholols in candy didn't agree with me pre op, so I'm gonna give them a while...although on days when I am stopped up...might be a good idea. :)
