Have you tried Pepto bismol?

For the problem of really bad smelling gas I take two pepto bismol caplets every morning for an extended period of time. I found this remedy by looking up "Flatulence" on wikipedia and it tells you how to get rid of the smell by taking bismuth subgallate or some over the counter drug called Devrom which I've never heard of. I've found Pepto Bismol works great, I don't know if it's ok to take it every day, but I don't care.
I'm in my 40's and I've suffered from severely smelly gas for 20 years. It's made my life very difficult at work, at school, at home, in my car...It's caused problems with my relationships and has left me isolated. Now I have it more under control by preventing gas with Beano before every meal involving starches, carbs, fiber, sugar, anything difficult to digest. I avoid drinking soda because it makes me gassy, and of course I take Pepto Bismol daily for odor.
No doctor I've spoken to has ever taken this seriously, or given me any useful advice on this topic.
