i have an s pouch and have some troubles that I've learned to live with but I can't handle the foul gas at night.

 

i gave to sleep on my side or belly or I risk leaking, this is also the only position I can pass gas,  I'm 6 years out and the last 6 months the gas has gotten so foul it can't be tolerated anymore.  My stools also are very foul.

 

I've been checked for c diff and am negative. I've had a course if cipro with little help. I'm currently taking vsl #3 ds and that hasn't helped gas.

 

i have some scar tissue I. My anastimosis and have trouble completely empty.

 

i can live with all my symptoms but this, I am sleeping in another room from my wife, which sucks.

 

also so any tips on deodoriferous would be great.

If Cipro does not help, how about trying Flagyl? Sounds like bacterial overgrowth, especially with not emptying well. One of the problems with the s-pouch is emptying issues over time because of the elongated outlet. Sometimes surgical revision is needed. 

 

Another option for you could be rinsing with tap water enemas before bed. Reducing carbs in your diet may also help.
