If he is otherwise behaving normally and is not losing a significant amount of weight, consider just continuing to offer food and give him time. I have geckos who have not eaten for quite awhile and seem to be OK and then just start up. If he is losing weight visibly, try giving him some baby food so he'll poop and then take the fecal in to the vet.
