Denied
The Board denied service connection for Epstein-Barr virus, salmonella infection residuals, and a gastrointestinal disability (claimed as Chron's disease) due to the lack of evidence showing current disabilities.
The deciding factor: There was no competent evidence of a current disability at any relevant time during the appeal period, and the Veteran is not competent to self-diagnose these conditions.
