Spitting Up CONSTANTLY

My son is 7 months old, and he has always been more "spitty" than any other baby I or my family has ever seen. In addition to the drool, he has a HUGE problem with constantly spitting up large amounts of whatever he eats. It's not vomit, it's spit up. No matter what he eats, or how much, he will randomly spit it up 30 minutes to an hour later. He doesn't seem like he's in any distress, and there's no force behind it. I've tried rice in his bottle to see if maybe the formula was too thin for his tummy, but that hasn't helped. He burps himself at this age. Just curious if any other mothers had this issue? Was there anything you tried that made it better?
Like I say, it doesn't seem to be hurting him, and he is always gaining weight (19lbs as of last month's appt), but you never know when he is going to "slime you", as we've come to call it.

Re: Spitting Up CONSTANTLY
Oh yes, sounds exactly like my son when he was a baby. He was my first and I was shocked by how much he would spit up BUT there's was nothing wrong with him according to the Pedi. I was told he would outgrow it and he did...at around 14 or 15 months old, he just stopped. I was afraid to let anyone hold him because he spit up so much and he wore bibs every second of the day.
Nothing and I mean nothing ever helped lessen the amount he would spit up. We tried it all. My husband was that way as a baby too so I chalked it up to that.
