I'm 10 months post-op and experiencing some abdominal pain

I've read through the library section and also put in a call to my surgeon's nurse. The pain came about yesterday, rather suddenly. Bloating in the belly, lower back pain, feeling like I had a "catch" in my lower left abdomen, under my ribcage. I did pass more gas than usual through the night, alleviated the bloating but that pain in the left side was there and still is today. Prior to this for maybe a week or so I've been having pain between the shoulder blades. The only thing new or different I had yesterday before the onset of the bloating was 2 sugar free chocolates with toasted coconut. At first I figured that must be it. The coconut must have given me some painful gas. But to still have this catch feeling, stabbing in my left side, I don't think that was it. Any feedback from those experienced with gallbladder or kidney stone issues? I'm not nauseaus or vomiting. Seems to feel better for awhile after I do eat.
