Difficult issue: As you have experienced this is hard to pin down. The triad of physical, emotional and dietary factors interact in any such patient. It can be as simple as acid reflux, a food intolerance , something else or an emotional issue triggered by pain. The best way to sort it out will be a workup by a pedi GI person who specializes in such issues.

Suspect constipation: Need a more detailed history and exam to come up with a more definite diagnoses. I would consult with your pediatrician first to sort things out and he will in turn refer you to GI specialist as deemed necessary.
