What makes my flatulence and bowel movement smell worse than a cesspool?

A year ago I told my Dr. that I had extremely foul smelling gas. I was so embarrassed last week when I had to have a bowel movement. I went to the public bathroom that was the farthest away from anyone. I kept flushing over and over while I was going but it penetrated the entire bathroom instantly, including me. As I left the bathroom I decided to leave the door open a crack so that the vent would bring in fresh air to replace it. I went to the breakroom and less than three minutes later someone came in to get spray to counter it. He even put a plug in deodorizer. I said "Do you mean the back bathroom? Yes, I just came out and thought I would get sick". Everyone in the hall closed their doors and no one could believe that a person could still be alive having a problem that foul! It took forever to go away. I went as fast as I could and flushed continually but I couldn't even go by that hall without smelling it. I had gastric bypass surgery 5 or6 years ago but never had this problem. I even looked up vitamins that would contribute to the problem to no avail.I work in a small shopping center in a professional setting. I don't know where to go when I have to go to the bathroom and the doctors seem unconcerned. I now have gas so much that even my bed and blankets reek. Any ideas from anyone. I know I can't keep my identity secret for much longer. And I'm really in the bathroom less than 3 minutes and would not be able to use other bathrooms in the shopping center because they are so small and everyone would know and wonder why I was there and not using one of our bathrooms. PLEASE, I have tried everything, even Gas x and other products.
