Yes: I presume you had MRI enterography to look at small intestine? This examination is tailored to evaluate the small bowel, and may or may not pick up abnormalities of the large intestine/colon. If your symptoms remain unexplained, and your doctor is recommending colonoscopy, it would have the potential to diagnose abnormalities not detectable on the MRI.

Possibly: I see that you have abdominal bloating. There can be many causes for that. An abdominal MRI gets a good look at the ovaries and other abdominal organs, but it is not good at seeing the insides of your intestines. If you have not had a colonoscopy, this may be a test your doctor orders. It looks at the inside of your large intestine and gives different information than the MRI. Hope that helps!
