Sharp pain in upper left abdomen. Normal CT scan. Any ideas? Input?

Hi I'm 14 month PO gastric bypass . About a week ago I started having intense sharp pain in my lower left abdomen and then a couple days later in my upper left abdomen also. It seems to happen after I eat and/or drink and not every time ...The pain can last for up to an hour....CT scan was normal. I have no other symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea etc. I feel fine other then those occasional sharp pains here and there. Next step is endoscopy but I'm holding off for a bit to see if the Miralax and stool softener helps. Just curious if anyone else has had this? Thanks!

I had something similar a few years ago and no diagnostic tool helped but I discovered a family history of ulcers in weird places and that's what it was along with muscle tightness due to bowel issues.

Let the softner do their job but if it gets worse then seek help as the pain can be intense.

Thank you! I'm in no hurry for an endoscopy. I'll see how things go for a few days first....hoping the stool softener does the job The pain can be very intense that's for sure!
