Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ribs

I am a 64 year old male in excellent health. I run and walk daily. I have had two bouts with a dull pain on my left side just under my rib cage. I feel like it might be my large intestine. the pain is tolerable but constant, seems more uncomfortable than intense. Feels like a good gas release would help. I am able to defacate but does not feel like I have emptied. I eat a lot of chocolate raisens and wondering if this could lead to this problem.
