Welcome to the forum.
Whoa there, don't freak out! You just need to fast him (not feed him) until that bulge goes away. He might be mad at you and ignore you for a while, but that will make him better in the long run.
Now, my question is, why did your friend over-feed him by 20 pellets...?

He should be fine. Don't feed him for at least 2 days IMO then feed him some blanched, de-shelled pea (frozen,not canned) or daphnia if you can find it. Epsom salt can help with constipation as well, you can do a water change and add 1/2tsp per gallon of water.. then in a few days do another water change to get the salt out.

how she over fed him

Well,i feed him bio-gold.instead of putting two pellets in,she dabbed the container two times.

Wow. I don't understnad why someone would do that :S
He'll get better, don't worry.
