Is it colon spasms??

I am 27 and for the past year to two years I have gotten these, very random, pains in my stomach.  It starts out with an incredible burning pain in the upper part of my stomach, just under the rib cage, and is followed very quickly by intense muscle spasms all over my stomach.  There seems to be no warning signs nor any consistancy to it. It has occured anywhere from a few weeks apart to several months apart. I spoke to my Dr. about it and, although he ran no tests, he said it was colon spasms.  I didn't think about it until later, but wouldn't I be having lower abdominal pains rather than upper pains if it was my colon. How is the burning in the upper part of my stomach related to my colon?

Any other symptoms when you get these 'spasms' ? Could be deficiencies in certain vitamins.
