Sporadic chronic Pancreatitis?

Sporadic chronic Pancreatitis?

I have had Ulcerative colitis for 19 years, acid reflux for 5 years and recently diagnosed with Diverticulosis and IBS.  I have been having this issue though for the past year or so.  I have random bouts of yellow/green liquid with my stool, which is somewhat yellow in color.  Sometimes when I go to the bathroom, which is hardly ever firm, some of the stool will stick to the bowl.  I also have random pain, just below my ribs and sometimes it feels like it wraps around to my back just under the ribs. I also get slightly nauseous.  I have mentioned all this to my GI but he just tells me it's my acid reflux and to increase my Prilosec.  However, I don't feel it's just the acid reflux.  I am just confused because if it is pancreatitis, even acute, wouldn't I have more pain?  The pain I feel is relatively mild and it happens for a few days then goes away.  Btw, I am not a big alcohol drinker - maybe a couple drinks on the weekends.  I try to restrict my drinking because I am on 6mp.  I get my liver and CBC checked every 3 years and the blood tests always come back normal.

Does this sound like something I should pursue with my doctor? Or could it just be acid reflux???  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
