When DS had constipation issues as a baby, his tummy would get distended, he wouldn't eat as much, was fussy and he'd spit up a little bit more. Then we'd give him milk of mag, as per his doctor and that'd clear him out.
It is a worry though because sometimes the symptoms are similar to a stomach bug. With DS, he'd stooled less after vomiting, but then didn't stool again -- we took him in after he hadn't stooled for 36 hours, because he was in pain and lethargic. His poop was also meconium tinged -- looked like he'd had pieces of spinach in his stool.
