My mother developed diverticulitis acutely about 10 yrs ago. From the onset of her symptoms, severe abdominal pain to a ruptured bowel was less than a week. She had emergency surgery where the affected bowel was removed and a colostomy was put in place. This was later reversed 8 mos later. She's had no problems since. I would be worried about your father-in-law travelling because I saw how fast things could go bad with my own Mom.
