    If it were your pancreas then you would be in unbearable pain. Vomiting, nausea, extreme weight loss, itching and pain after eating are just a few of the symptoms. If you're young, it's even more unlikely. I am in my 30's and only have pancreas issues because I was born with two pancreatic ducts.

    Pancreas issues have its own presentation. Have you been tested for the pancreatic Enzymes Lipase etc?

    Blood in stool is never a sign of pancreas related issues. It can be something to do with your intestines like IBS, Mucus is one of its symptoms. Pains anywhere in the abdomen and back can be related to several GI problems. The pancreas being the rarest.
