Mild flare from pain medication

I saw diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis a month ago and was given 15mg IC Meloxicam (1/day) to help with pretty severe pain in my lower back. Also, physical therapy. I was supposed to take the Meloxicam for 30 days but after about 10 days I slowly started with abdominal pain and the return of mild symptoms of UC. This after years of remission. I stopped taking the Meloxicam but my mild UC symptoms persist for the last couple of weeks.

Any recommendations for diet, treatment or other that could get me back on track?

My symptoms are pretty mild. Urgency (mostly) in the morning, cramping during the night. The abdominal pain was interfering with sleep. I have been doing a bland diet.

The good news is, I've been taking Turmeric for the last week and things have improved.

Are there any non prescription rectal meds?

Well it looks like the turmeric did the trick. Started about 10 days ago and saw good results quickly and another week it looks like everything is back to normal. It has also helped with inflammation in my back. A win/win.
