My child is 11 height 4 9' weighs a ct. scan of abdomen showed intestinal wall inflammation.. anemic 9.2 and constipation what can it be?

More testing needed: The anemia is worrisome for a more serious, chronic problem like inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, crohn's) although those are more likely to cause diarrhea. Follow up with a pediatric gastroenterologist will be improtant.
