My ct scan showed distention of the duodenum and possible thickening of the small intestine. what does that mean?

Maybe nothing: why did you have the scan done? A stomach flu might give you those symptoms . If having a lot of pain or other issues you could see a surgeon or GI MD to scope you and they can pass a camera into your duodenum to check
