Stars and Stripes puffer bloated and sluggish

My stars and stripes puffer, Jules, has been bloated and hiding under a rock all morning. He did eat yesterday morning but not this morning or yesterday afternoon. He is currently hiding under one of my rocks and has gone a mottled color, kind of a mixture of olive green and a lighter green. His belly is bloated out to the sides and he hasn't moved all day. I think he might of eaten too much yesterday morning, I didnt feed him my day did, I had to work early. He was fed about half a piece of thawed frozen shrimp, but apparently my dad didnt cut the pieces as small as I normally do. Has anyone had this happen before, Im really worried about him. I also added a 6-line wrasse and a yellow watchman goby yesterday afternoon, before he was acting strange.
Tank Parameters are:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 20 did a PWC and they are now 10 - 20
Ph - 8.2
Salinity - 1.025
Been doing some more research and I think he could be constipated, what do you guys think?
