Hi, Thickening is usually inflammation like a bruise. Depends on if it is a small or large intestine. If it is small, inflammation from an infection (generally the common stomach flu) or autoimmune disease, rarely celiac. There are other possibilities, but those are the more common categories for small bowel. Large bowel includes all of those but not so much celiac. There can also be diverticulitis in the large bowel. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
