What Is The Treatment For Ileum Inflammation?
I have thickening of the ileum.....no one seems to be able to get to the ileum thru a colonoscopy.... my symtoms are my stomach gurgles a lot so loud that other people can hear it.... I never know when I have an urgent bowel movement.... I always need to be by a bathroom... I have no pain at all and do not have any fevers.... a couple of years ago I did have h pylore.... i have taken a ct scan and it only shows thickening of the ileum.... please help

Hi I did review your concern.
I would advice you to go for further testing in form of barium follow through in which they will help you see the ileum from inside. Thickened ileum can be seen in infection, due to edema or rarely due to unwanted growth, A biopsy may also be needed if you are having weight loss or blood in stools.
i hope this helps
Wish you all the best
