My dog has an upset stomach, pacing, and gas. What should I do?

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 2 months old

My dog is acting like he has an upset tummy. He can't get comfortable, pacing, whining, belching, & has gas. He doesn't seem to be in pain so I don't feel like he needs to see a vet but something is definitely not right with him. He'll lay down next to me in bed, get down & lay on the floor, go to another room, & come back & start all over. Any suggestions?

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If the symptoms do not resolve, take him to the vet to get treatment.
