Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
.
Since you are already well investigated, the treatment has to be well planned. This is because you have a complicated combination of colitis and gastritis.
It is good that the small intestine is normal.

I would suggest you the following and I hope you are already taking some treatment under the care of the Gastroenterologist.

Soft bland diet to be equally distributed in 4 parts and spaced nicely to cover at 5 to 6 hourly duration.
Ranitidine /PPI
Antacid gel at 3 hourly interval.
For colitis:
The 5 day course of an antibiotic and metronidazole, probiotic.
Avoid all the foods and beverages which you must have noticed by this time that increase your problem.

Review endoscopies after one and half months.
And to reschedule treatment as per the new findings.
I find this answer helpful
