30 yr old DH with gas, 24 hr burping, bloated stomach - help???

My DH has these symptoms and has had for months now but wont go to the doctor. It is getting worse though and I am really worried about him so he has promised to see GP asap as he is now being sick from time to time and his stomach is getting painful with all the gas bloating up in it. The only way to relieve the swelling in his stomach/belly area is to be sick and he says he could burp all day long with the amount of gas in his stomach. He has no pain to indicate an ulcer and there is no bleeding involved or effect on his "toilet functions"...

Anyone know what this might be as I am really worried about him now.... Everything I have looked up on the net is a bit too vague or points to underactive thyroid in women (obviously he is a man so this may not ring true..)

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Is he overweight? What is his diet like? Does he eat a lot of gas-producing foods? Does he gulp his food and take in lots of air? Does he have a high fat diet?

There are various wind-easing medications available to ease the symptoms (ask pharmacist) but it is probably worth keeping a food diary for a couple of weeks and seeing if a pattern emerges.
