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. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
