gall bladder, c-diff, h-pylori and still having upper lef abdominaly

In the past 3 years, I have had upper abdominal pain, severe gas, etc.  I had my gall bladder tested and it was non-functioning and causing me pain so had it removed.  I started feeling good for awhile, started exercising and losing weight.  Then I started having abdominal cramping and was tested for c-diff and treated for that, still losing weight, about 76 lbs. Then I started feeling a knawing pain around the sternum and having severe gas.  I have had MRI, CT scans, and they showed nothing so I asked my dr. for a referrel to a gastroenterologist and he did an endoscopy and this showed H-pylori.  I went through several week s of that awful treatment and anoher endoscopy showed it was errdicated, but I still had severe gas.  But I guess it takes time to feel better. So weeks later I am starting to feel better, now after about a month of felling better, today I got a sudden pain in my upper left quadrant that won;t go away.  Could this be pancreatis (pancreatitis)?  I've had blood test and as I said about an MRI and CT scan, but they say everything is normal.  Is there any other tests that they should run?  Would a HIDA scan show what's really going on in there?  Anyway, I feel like I should just ignore it and it will go away cause my family thinks I am a hypocondriac.
