She explains that IBS, diagnosed based on the Rome criteria, includes symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. Leah highlights several pathways for veterans to establish a service connection for IBS: diagnosis during active service, association with Gulf War exposures, and secondary service connections linked to mental health disorders like PTSD. She emphasizes the importance of demonstrating how PTSD or other mental health conditions might cause or worsen IBS. Leah references several research articles supporting the IBS-mental health connection and advises veterans on how to discuss this with healthcare providers and VA examiners.
