You have to take your time to get your baby to burp. If holding him on your shoulder and lightly patting his back doesn't work you can try putting him on your lap, supporting his head, in a sitting position, and then slowly rotate him in a circular motion. Very slowly, make sure that you keep him upright for at least 3-5 minutes after he eats. Constipation is different from gas. You said that his poop is "creamy" that seems normal as long as it isn't watery. I have heard people suggest Karo syrup but I have never used it. Another burping technique is to lay the baby on his belly across your lap and pat on his back, I don't like that method, it's really hard to hold on to the baby in that position. I recommend regular burping, every 2-3 ounces, and don't start feeding again until he burps. Infant Gas Relief Drops help my son when he has difficult gas. I've also heard great things about Gripe Water. I hope that helps. Good Luck!
