Alternative Ileostomy Deodorant

I have been just informed that Medicare has reduced the allotment of ostomy deodorant to one 8 0z bottle of ostomy lubricant/ deodorant per month. I have been using Hollister M9 with good results but 8 oz/month will not suffice. On line a bottle sells for ~$27.00.

I am looking to make a substitute deodorant. Has anybody had experience using mouthwash and dilute hydrogen peroxide (an effective bactericidal agent)? I am looking for approximate proportions; I am aware that hydrogen peroxide if too concentrated can cause irritation of the stoma. I would appreciate any suggestions...

How much M9 do you use per month now?

I have used baking soda for years, as it absorbs odor. It's also inexpensive and a large box lasts forever. I just scoop a little bit in after emptying.
