Can baby teething cause gas, discomfort, constipation, lack of appetite?

No: Teething has been wrongfully blamed for the common maladies in infants of 6 to 12 months age such as fever (febrile illness), diarrhea or even rash. It would be reasonable to expect a mild elevation of temperature not above 101 degree F and some fretfullness.

Teething causes none: Teething causes none of the above symptoms. The constipation can can, indeed, result in cramps, excessive gas and ack of appetite, but not teething.
