I've had gas for a long time (3-5 every 5 minutes), and I am currently diagnosing what I have (my doctor says it is IBS.) I usually wouldn't mind (I cant smell it myself), but I am going on a trip to China, and don't want to offend my elders (ceremony for my late Grandma.) Are there any cosmetics where I can remove the smell of flatulence (or even the sound?)

Oh my GOSH I could have written this question a couple of years ago. It's an awful thing to go through.
They're actually starting to say that anyone diagnosed with IBS, or anyone with symptoms of IBS should be checked for celiac disease. Here's a link to the information by the National Institutes of health about celiac.

If that sounds like something that may be going on there are a couple of really good message boards that you can visit to find out more information.
www.glutenfreeforum.com
www.celiacforums.com
I had IBS for 18 years before they figured out that gluten was causing all of my symptoms. I had gas almost constantly, like you're describing. I ended up having to not go on a completely paid for trip to Europe because there was NO WAY.
Please, please PLEASE come to one of those message boards and learn more about celiac and other gluten intolerances. This very well may be what is going on with you. If it's not a gluten intolerance it may be another common food that is causing it. Dairy, soy, eggs, yeast, corn are all foods that commonly cause problems for people.
Other than that, I did come across a company that makes products exactly like what you were asking about. http://flat-d.com
I've never tried their products, so I can't tell you if they work. I ended up finding out I had celiac right around the same time I came across their site.
I hope you feel better soon.
