Hi and welcome to HCM,
Thickening of intestinal wall may be due to Crohn's disease. There may be some obstruction of the intestine. Nothing to worry. Anti-inflammatory agents, corticosteroids and immuno-modultors are given for Crohn's disease. Signs and symptoms, detailed examination along with radiological finding is necessary to come into a conclusion. All your conditions are inter-related.
Track on your diet.
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
