Why did my doctor recommend colonoscopy?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes two conditions (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Long term inflammation results in damage to the GI tract. So we need to clear out the exact difference between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and the need to do colonoscopy.
