Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, you are in the right treatment.
Request your gastroenterologist for a review colonoscopy.
Biopsy if required.
Change of diet - to consume whatever suits- stop whatever does not; there is no fast rule.
Repeated tests may come up with some diagnosis which was hidden in the past so remember - review is very important.
