Hi and welcome to HCM,
This condition is due to your crohn's disease and diverticulitis only. Diverticula can form while straining during bowel movement such as with constipation. They are most common in lower portion of large intestine. Add more fiber diet to prevent the further formation of diverticula. Stiffening and narrowing of the bowel wall causes obstruction, which may result in contipation. Consult with your doctor for further investigations.
wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
