In the x-ray, did it show only gas or did he even have any food to poop out? I know you're waiting for the second set of results to tell you what caused the colitis, but did the vet give him anything for the gas or the discomfort thereof?
When you feed the kibble and raw, do you feed them at the same time or at separate meals? If it's at the same meal, it could be problematic. He might be having trouble digesting them because kibble and raw take different lengths of time to digest and the kibble could be blocking things up as it takes longer. This could lead to potential bacteria build up I would imagine because it means that the raw food is staying in his system longer becuase of the kibble, than it would otherwise, thus giving the bacteria more time to set up shop inside.
