Bloated and slightly constipated for 6 weeks

So about 6 weeks ago I was just sitting in a chair when I get very odd pains in my upper abdomen. Almost like pins & needles on the surface. After a few days I noticed I was bloated and it has basically been this way for the whole time. My stool is harder to pass and sometimes looked a bit thinner but overall it seems fine in terms of I can't see blood or anything like that. Foods don't seem to digest as well either. Taking fiber is huge help. Had an xray done, no kidney or gall stones. I had one kidney stone back in 2012. Two ultrasounds showed that everything looked fine in terms of gall bladder and kidney though my right kidney has some simple cyst but the report says no follow up needed. Overall, I am constantly bloated, feels like mostly lower abdominal area. I have a colonoscopy in a couple weeks but I am thinking I should tell them I want an mri or ct scan of my abdomen. I feel like I haven't even heard them talk about IBS, IBD, maybe something else like a parasite, tumor, who knows. At first they chalked it up constipation but I have never had that before. 36, male, white, work out multiple times a week, no drugs, no alcohol or smoking. As far as I know there is no family history of any cancer. My parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles never had any.
