Hello,
It is not a bad idea to have the endoscopy and colonoscopy if you cannot correct these problems with diet and exercise. You need to figure out a way to get in plenty of water during the day. Increasing fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains in your diet will also help. Add a probiotic and avoid dairy. If it does not clear up in a few weeks to months then see your doctor.
Regular exercise is also important.
Regards
