2.4g of Asacol is a maintenance dosage for when you are in remission. You have an active flare and can max out to 4.8 g oral and 4 g rectal enemas for your best bet in treatment to relieve some of the inflammation. Check with your doc for an increase while you are deciding what your next step is. Sounds like part of your problem is that it has been under treated. Even a little inflammation will do damage over time.
When considering a next step, ask about Entyvio. It's a biologic, but it's targeted specifically to the colon so it's doesn't affect your entire immune system. There have been several people here who have had great success with it. I was in a solid remission for over a year on it and then started a mild flare. I just started an increased dosage and am seeing signs that this is going to get me back to that solid remission again. ~fingers crossed~
