It is probably wise to have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy if you GI doc suggested it.

I believe in one of your postings you said to take Metamucil for a fiber supplement. Metamucil powder contains 3 grams of dietary fiber per teaspoon of which 2 grams is soluble fiber and 1 gram insoluble fiber. You might switch to a fiber supplement like Heather's Tummy fiber (acacia) or Benefiber which is 100% soluble fiber. You probably want to stay away from soluble fiber supplements containing inulin or FOS.

I find that my tolerance for certain kinds of insoluble fiber even in small amounts is quite low. If I over step my limit I get chills, nausea, cramps and pain. I know it is bad when it awakens me in the night. Some times it feels like an irritant is rubbing an inflamed region of my gut causing spasms and pain.
