Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new examination to correct a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error, specifically addressing the impact of medications on the Veteran's symptoms.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate examination that did not address the impact of over-the-counter and prescribed medications on the Veteran's gastrointestinal symptoms.
