A member asked:

Probably Crohn's: Would doubt the diverticulosis is the reason for his symptoms. If he has crohn's disease, this may cause his pain and "dry heaving." if the small bowel is involved, this may cause a small bowel obstruction and cause pain and vomiting. Would think if he's in the hospital, they could figure these things out.

Acute presentation: Requires a more expeditious diagnostic approach and coordination among the specialists. Who admitted your son? Who diagnosed his crohn's disease? Was there a ct scan to indicate diverticulitis? Crohn's complication? For this type of presentation, GI doc and surgeon work together closely to provide the best care. Your son - and his loved ones are a big part of the overall process, stay engaged...
