Unfortunately, those are very vague symptoms with many potential causes. If it just started up recently, minor GI upset such as getting into something Eddy shouldn't have, eating too many treats or people food, etc can cause it. Picking up his food for a few hours then offering a bland meal of boiled chicken and rice may help and also encourage him to eat. Other causes could be a range of things including internal parasites, food allergies leading to gas production or GI upset, eating something that made him ill, getting into something toxic, foreign bodies, underlying illnesses, medical conditions, etc. If he continues to have these symptoms, won't eat anything at all, or has new symptoms appear such as vomiting, diarrhea, etc, seeking out veterinary care in person ASAP is best.
