What Causes Burping After Having Meals?

my 27 year old son seem to burp a lot (little burps) after most meals, snacks~ all the time. I see him with antacids sp? and other such over the counter meds... he eats/drinks fast and will not slow his meals down, but i'm wondering if he has some problems with his digestion system

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, let me inform you that burping is not the sign of any disease but it may be due to swallowing the air during eating or it may be due to aerated drinks taken or the food that causes the fermentation, else it is not the sign of any disease, it can be due to indigestion but that may not last for long time hope this information helps.
