The simethicone (so I suspect you'll see similar dosing) is the same no matter the brand, and it stays in the gut. It doesn't go through the blood system to find the gas.
However simethicone is pretty unlikely to be anything you could possibly overdose on so if you wanted to take it with each and every meal and snack it would most likely be safe.
It may take a few doses to see a difference as the gas being formed in the colon isn't anywhere near the simethicone in your stomach right after you take it.

Took it with the metamucil. I farted less. I did not have more discomfort from the gas.
But I had to take it with the metamucil. Taking it when the farting started didn't do anything.

Osmotics can pull in a lot more water than the bulk of the stool can hold so can cross over to diarrhea. With the fiber you tend to get less water pulled in, but what is adds to the bulk from the fiber.
Not sure if that made sense or not.

After all fermentable fibers and resistant starch already in the food gets to the colon to cause gas.
