Could Bloating, Gas And Pain Under The Ribs And Back Be Ulcers?

I have been bloated and gassy for over a week now, food doesn't seem to make a difference. I am also experiencing pain on my right side mostly under my ribs and back area. I have had kidney stones in the past and thought that it could possibly be one of those, however, the pain is different. I was thinking perhaps it is an ulcer? I do not have health insurance so was thinking if there was some kind of home remedy I could try to start with that would be great.
