Upper Middle Abdominal Pain

Who has had upper abdominal pain, below breast bone, above belly button? But no pain on left or right side? What condition do you have?
I started with an achey pain that felt like a large gas bubble, but now I'm also having cramps right after I eat. My doctor couldn't find a sore spot near gall bladder, so he thinks its IBS. I haven't had any cramps in "usual" colon places, just below my breast bone. The achey pain almost reminds me of being toward end of pregnancy and baby pressing up on ribs .
He gave me levsin & told me to take fibercon for about a month to see how it goes. It's only been two days and I'm already wondering if this could be gall bladder or diverticulitis?
