What Medication Is Suggested For Extreme Belching?

My son is 15, for a year or more, every few months, without warning, he will suffer from a bout of extremely excessive belching which can last many hours almost continuously, it is accompanied by stomach pain & now invariably results in him vomitting. It is impossible to believe how much gas can come out of one skinny young body. He does a lot of sport (6 days a week) & like many boys of this age & this level of activity he eats quite a lot, esp carbs (brown bread, potatoes, rice, pasta etc) - he doesnt eat much "fast food" - What can we do when it happens & what can we do to avoid it
