Q. What products are available that can stop the terrible smell of gas when dietary discretion is not enough?
A. Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) appears to be effective at reducing hydrogen sulfide formation (Gastroenterology, May, 1998). This is responsible for some of the nasty smells associated with intestinal gas. Do not take more than is indicated on the label because too much bismuth can be toxic.

A more homeopathic approach to dealing with intestinal gas is to take acidophilous. Since I started taking this daily I have minimal problems. It is also know as a "probiotic".
Used to give Devrom (bismuth Subgallate) 200-400 mg to VA pts with colostomies. Is that still available?
