Sorry live in the US. Maybe you could buy temporary insurance and come for a doctor's evaluation. That's a switch...everybody here wants to go to Canada for medical help. Can you get checked by rheumatologist for Crohn's? Do you have any joint pain at all? With diverticulitis it is true that most affected are over 40. It's an inflammatory condition which results from diverticula, bulging balloon-like pockets in the colon which can hold contents & become infected. Crohn's is an autoimmune syndrome usually presenting in younger persons causing abdominal pain as well, diarrhea sometimes with blood (like diverticulitis). There are similarities but labs can show the difference.
