Usually I feed my Betta, Javier a few pellets one by one.  Tonight for some reason, I held the open container in my hand near the tank.  Unfortunately my hand shook and i basically dumped about a quarter of the container into my 5 gallon tank!  Pellets everywhere.  Of course Javier was gulping them down.  I quickly grabbed a cup and scooped him out of the tank.  I netted out as much of the pellets as I could and then did a 75% water change, siphoning the gravel.  
 
Of course I will fast him as I don't know how many pellets he gobbled up. Anything else that I should do?
 
I think that's about all you can do. If he gets constipated from this perhaps try feeding him daphnia. And ofcourse in the future don't hold the container over the tank :p
