Hi, Colonoscopy and biopsy may miss Crohn's disease. The abdominal pain could be due to DU. You can have EGD done to see if you still have it.

Hi, Can a colonoscope effect you three months after it is performed? - No If not any guesses on what it could be? - It could be a flare-up.

Hi, Asacol itself can cause diarrhea. Also insoluble fiber can worsen UC. Take soluble fiber instead. Fish oil supplements would be helpful. Excess dairy products should be avoided. If you still have bloody diarrhea in spite of maximum dose of asacol, then you may have to take a course of steroids to bring the disease under control.

Hi, Yes acid reflux can cause burping. If once daily dose is not effective , you need to take twice daily dose. Avoid gas forming food items like cabbage, beans, brocolli. Avoid alcohol, cola, citrus and carbonated beverages.
