HI.
The pain in the middle of the abdomen along with midback is more suggestive of Pancreatitis and rarely missed in CTscan also.
You need to undergo tests of blood- particularly Pancreatic - amylase and lipase along with other routine tests.
You may need upper GI endoscopy and Endoscopic ultrasonography to ascertain the cause and ERCP.
Since you are passing mucus and CT scan has shown large amount of stool in colon , I would advise you get get a repeat CT scan , bowel preparation in the form of soap-water enema , pegelac or so orally and then to undergo for Colonoscopy and if required biopsy. This may solve your problem or lead us to a proper diagnosis and treatment according to the reports.
