My thought was my dad had similar issues before his gallbladder went totally haywire and had to be removed. It went on for several years thinking heartburn/indigestion until it got worse and he thought it was too serious to be such. But I am not a doctor, good luck tummy aches are the pits.

Mimi, have you had your heart checked lately? Though it's not the likely cause, it's shown that sometimes women can have heart symptoms that feel like stomach pain under the ribcage, like an upset stomach or gas pain. Just keep it in mind.

My heart is great, was checked at last checkup, and I am sure the dr will
check that too; thanks for suggesting it.
I don't think chewing gum can make heart pain go away.

Spleen.
I'm just as good as House. Neither one of us is a real doctor. But the location you describe is where the spleen is

I have had pain as you are describing for like 4 years. It's across the left side of my waist, spreading out from my navel. Not all of the time, but enough to have had every part of me checked out. They thought it was diverticulosis, but it's not. I've also had ulcer-like symptoms for years, since I was in my 20's. Can't tell you how many times I have been to the emergency room, thinking it was a heart attack. So, sometimes, I have to cut back on certain foods and/or caffeine. Exercise seems to bother it, sometimes, but, if I stop and eat, it goes away.
Let us know what happens.
