I'm newly dx with colitis/probably Crohn's. Just had a colonoscopy and things were fairly under control with the inflammation but I still have lower abdominal pain off and on throughout each day. Is this something I'll just have to deal with?

It could be the Asacol, its a side effect, I have it. Even though my colitis is cleared out, I still get it.

It also could be something you ate, did your Dr put you on a low residue diet? A food journal will help you keep track of what you at and what your body didnt like.

It also could be small bowel issues not seen by colonoscopy.

Pentasa caused me chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) and I can suffer from a flare up for more than a month. Always take the tablets after food and don't eat food that can irritate the stomach like fried food, citrus fruits, tomato sauce, chocolate, a lot of dairy milk and caffeine.
Hope you feel better soon:)

Is the pain generalized or lower right quadrant? If it's lower right I'd lean toward inflamation of the ileum. Most of my pain used to be there, but after my last resection it's now a bit higher at the surgical site. I agree with the food journal it can help eliminate foods that might be aggravating your CD. Hope you get some relief soon.
