How Can Excessive Belching Be Treated?

My husband has excessive be!ching. He was given the ring for here and has barred esophagus. He had a scope so doesn't have stomach or esophageal cancer but the belching never goes away. He has some relief when he lays down. Doctors have said they can't figure it out so "oh well, just be in his mind". He is often short of breath.
