If he is drinking on his own, then just add red colored food like red hybiscus flowers or red rose petals, try a few bugs in the salad, and leave him be until he has settled in and has started eating. Don't handle him even once a week! Also, make sure there aren't other stressors present, like noise. I don't think the "hold them even if they don't like it" method works very well for iguanas. It stresses them out.
If he starts slowing down and still doesn't eat after you remove the stress, then a vet visit is highly recommended, as lizardrc said, to make sure he isn't dangerously dehydrated or sick.
