Breast feeding

I have a 2.5 week old that I'm breastfeeding and I feel like he could literally never stop eating. I feed him every 2 hours and he acts hungry in between but I've noticed he always has really bad gas and am guessing that is why he acts hungry. Even when I burp him he still has gas and I thought this was supposed to be better with breastfeeding. Just wondering if any other mommies have experienced the same thing and if there's anything I can do to help with his gas? I just feel so bad and helpless, if he's not on my boob he's being fussy and crying.
