Abdominal x-ray findings that are suggestive for celiac disease include small bowel dilatation, stack of coin appearance (hidebound sign), segmentation, mucosal atrophy, and transient intussusception.

There are no specific x-ray findings associated with celiac disease. However, an abdominal x-ray suggestive of celiac disease may show:

• Small bowel dilatation (increasing with more severe of disease)
• Stack of coins appearance
• Duodenal nodular changes
• Reversal of the ileojejunal fold pattern
• Segmentation
• Hypersecretion and mucosal atrophy (moulage sign)
• Transient intussusception
