Hi Dan and welcome to the forum!
I am on Asacol as well...same dosage in fact.
it is usually given as a maintenance drug when
not in a flair or you are in remission.

Usually Crohn's is not diagnosed with an upper GI test..
I suggest you go back to your doctor and tell him/her
just what you said her...maybe even suggest a colonoscopy.

Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

All the best~Nancy
