Brief Answer:
Can be due to gastritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of gassy and bloating can be a side effect of the pain killer he is taking or due to gastritis. He needs to have the pain killer after meals and avoid having hot and spicy foods.
Drugs like omeprazole and antacids along with prokinetic drugs like domperidone/itopride should help him in improving the symptoms.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
