4 week old baby I am CONFUSED

My baby was born 4 weeks ago and I exclusively breastfeed him. Everyone keeps telling me how everything I eat affects his stomach (not enough vitamins, too much soda, fast food). My baby eats every 30–40 mins. I feed on demand because he eats for max. 5 min and falls asleep, so I convinced myself he’s just hungry. We had no prior problems at all, but the last 3 days he started crying inconsolably, and I blame myself for it. My husband thinks he is colicky. It’s always the same hours, late at night. It appears with heavy kicking around, screaming, and turning red. I am thinking maybe it’s his stomach because I feed him non-stop and he doesn’t have time to process the food? I gave him drops to prevent gas build-up in his stomach, but they just made him constipated. Does anyone please have any advice at all?
