Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome to include diarrhea was dismissed, and the claims for service connection for shin splints, right wrist condition, and left wrist condition were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a current disability of the conditions claimed, as evidenced by the lack of medical records or lay statements supporting such diagnoses.
