Ashley, I missed the word "advanced" in your post. You're right, since it already contains simethicone, you would be getting a higher dose if you doubled up. But I've occassionally taken a third Extra Strength Gas-X cap at night if my gas is really bad in addition to the two I take every morning and I haven't had a problem with it. I also accidently took a double dose of Gas-X the other morning when the fibro fog was real thick! I went running for the computer to find out what it said about simethicone overdose -- the answer was nothing! It's not a problem, no side effects, no overdose symptoms, nothing. It's gotta be one of the safest things we take! I did notice my tummy felt a little funny that day, not bad just different, but by the next day I was fine. I also think that doctors sometimes prescribe higher doses for some patients, since the bottle says something like "don't take more than this except under the advice of your physician."
