Hi...probably with such a long standing history your doctor is thinking about a possibility of inflammatory bowel disease and I think he is probably right in asking you to get an endoscopy done. I suggest you go ahead and there is no need to get scared. It sis a very safe procedure in experienced and confident hands.
