Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a gastrointestinal disorder, including diverticulosis, esophageal stricture, and GERD, for further development.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was inadequate as it did not address whether any of the Veteran's gastrointestinal disorders were aggravated by in-service back strains.
