0 Navy04 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Gerd and IBS get rated together, I have Crohns and GERD rated together. I don't know why you would claim IBS as secondary to PTSD? Big difference from Mental and Physical conditions. Good luck 100% PTSD 100% Back 60% Bladder Issues 50% Migraines 30% Crohn's Disease 30% R Shoulder 20% Radiculopathy, Left lower 10% Radiculopathy, Right lower 10% L Knee 10% R Knee Surgery 2005&2007 10% Asthma 10% Tinnitus 10% Damage of Cranial Nerve II 10% Scars SMC S SMC K OEF/OIF VET 100% VA P&T, Post 911 Caregiver, SSDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TALON II FE Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Mental conditions, stress, etc, can influence and possibly cause IBS.

0 Warrior Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yes a lot of the doctors have been saying that the ibs could be acting up because of the PTSD that is why it crossed my mind to file it as secondary . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mikemmlj Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I just filed for herd/ibs secondary to PTSD even though I'm 100%. I was advised to do so by a state Val rep. I know this may put me up for a review of my PTSD as well but he said it was the smart thing to do.Herd=gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted July 19, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yes, you can do that and IBS can be secondary or caused by PTSD.pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andyman73 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 While I am only starting down the road to my MH DX. I know for a fact that I went to the medical clinic, a few times over the years, for IBS type symptoms and/or diarrehia that lasted a week or longer. And it was always during times of increased stress. Same with the alcohol useage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
