Teenager with stomach/ribs spasms?

I'm 15 and I have no previous health problems. Two days ago, I got an awkward feeling, a "light" feeling on my lower ribcage on my left side. Now it's like a vibrating twitch and it only lasts a few seconds. It usually has no pain, but now it does occasionally (a mild stabbing). Sometimes it spreads to my belly button area and from there to my left side.

My stomach is bloated, and I've been thinking I was constipated so I took cetrucel (fiber with 8 oz. water)and that hasn't helped. It made my stomach uncomfortably full and painful. When I drink water, it 'fills' up my stomach. I get overly full, like indegestion full. I wasn't hungry then, but I am sort-of now. I'm snacking on some grapes now. The twitching and 'full stomach' syndrome is very uncomfortable. I haven't had any bowl movements today, except for a VERY small amount of diarrhea. Yesterday I had two bowel movements. Because of this, I only got 1 hr of sleep last night... I couldn't get comfortable.

What's wrong with me? When will it pass? What can I do to get this pain to go away?
