Have Lower Abdominal Pain, Loss Of Appetite. CT Scan Shows Thickened Lower Intestine. Any Ideas?
I was just given a CT scan with contrast for lower abdominal, appendicitis ruled out and they are not sure what it is. Said the lower intestine looked thickened? I was sent home and still have the pain. Others symptoms were no appetite for 2 day when I finally started eating then pain would get stronger. I was hospitalized for 2 days.

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
You need to see a GI specialist. Appendicitis remains a possibility if your pain is still present, and a discussion of Inflammatory Bowel disease is important. Chron's disease can present in this manner. Certainly if the pain is significant or you have a fever, you need to be seen urgently!
I hope that this helps and good luck!
