Gastroenterologist 's  Response
It's o.k with what you're taking now for the proctosigmoiditis you have but the pain could be of spastic origin so I'd recommend you some antispastics like Buscopan for a while and Simethicone for gases. It's not contraindicated and as for your doubt for a whole intestine colitis just be patient till the next control colonoscopy.

General Surgeon Dr. T Chandrakant's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Proctosigmoiditis is a disease in which you get inflammatory changes at the lowest part of intestinal system.
The gaseous distension can be due to many factors as follow:
Aerophagia due to swallowing of air
Allergy with some food materia like nuts of any types
Anxiety and stress
Small intestinal infection
Bacterial overgrowth

Hence an additional course of an antibiotics, metronidazole, probiotics, avoidance of an allergic food all helps.
Your Gastroenterologist will definitely take care of all the factors and treat you accordingly.
