Pancreatitis-careful: your body is not ready to digest a 'regular' diet. Eat less fat and carbs for now, follow up closely with your doctor, sooner if discomfort worsens.

White mucus in stool: What caused the pancreatitis? Did that problem resolve completely before new symptoms of abd discomfort & mucous, or have you had ongoing discomfort the whole time? Past gall bladder or intestinal problems? The "white" you see could be due to temporary inadequate absorption of normal fats, or partially/completely unrelated problems in the intestines. See your doctor if not gone in the next week
