Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such feeling in the right upper abdomen can be caused by gallstones, peptic ulcers, pancreas disease. Gallstones gives also nausea, sometimes pain radiating to the back. Peptic ulcers gives pains or/and nausea, chest burning after 2 hours of a meal.
Some liver lumps can also give such symptoms (usually abscesses, however this is rare). Diarrhea and mucus in stool can be associated mostly with pancreas disease, or it can be caused by something else.
It is advisable for you to have some diagnostics. You should start with abdominal ultrasound, full blood work, liver tests (AST,ALT,GGTP), pancreas enzymes (amylase), bilirubin level, urine analysis. If no findings in this tests, upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy should be performed as well.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
