Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain additional medical evidence regarding the Veteran's claimed gastrointestinal disorder, including a diagnosis of IBS and its potential relation to service.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not obtaining necessary work-up and opinions regarding the Veteran's current symptoms related to his reported diarrhea during deployment.
