Brief Answer:
Gallstones can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Stomach pain and back pain are quite characteristic symptoms of gallstones. Especially if the pain is in the upper middle or right abdomen, appears after fatty foods and causes some nausea. Gallstones usually do not give any blood work changes (if there is no inflammation).
Abdominal ultrasound is the next step at your case for sure. Urine should be checked as well as an infection can act like that.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
