two causes of passing gas
Air swallowing (aerophagia) is a common cause of gas in the stomach. Everyone swallows small amounts of air when eating and drinking. However, eating or drinking rapidly, chewing gum, smoking, or wearing loose dentures can cause some people to take in more air.
Undigested food passes from the small intestine into the large intestine, where normal, harmless bacteria break down the food, producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and, in about one-third of all people, methane. Eventually these gases exit through the rectum. The balance of the two types of bacteria may explain why some people have more gas than others.
Experience has shown that the most common ways to reduce the discomfort of gas are changing diet, taking medicines, and reducing the amount of air swallowed.

I have the same problem. It got so bad that it was effecting my self-esteem. I felt like a human skunk. I went to a vitamin store and explained my problem (which was embarrassing) They said I might not have enough acidophilus, which is a friendly bacteria that lives in the GI tract that helps you properly digest food. They gave me a bottle of acidophilus capsules and told me to take 2 a night until the bottle was gone, and then repeat this process every 6 months. I have been doing this, and it really seems to be helping.

It sounds like he has some digestive ailment. Give him a good digestive enzyme to help him digest his food. Also get him to do a detox cleanse.
