Best Answer

Several bowel disorders can do this. Inflammatory bowel disease or IBD can include,

Crohn's disease , Infectious colitis, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis , lupus vasculitis.

The only way to know for sure is to see a physician who will run appropriate tests to ascertain which disease is causing the symptoms. Even appendicitis can present with thickening of portions of the bowel.
