Celiac Disease Potentially?
Waiting on the results from biopsies but I’ve had 3 colonoscopies and 4 endoscopies. (2) of which for both occurred in service.
I was service connected for Chronic gastritis with pangolins and terminal ileitis with peptic ulcer disease to include IBS at 40%.
I’m at combined 93% waiting on (3) claims. (1) HLR for GERD they didn’t rate the hiatal hernia but this came back in my favor for them to do an X-Ray on it. (2) Previous denied plantar fasciitis and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder which I submitted a new note from my podiatrist explaining how it should have been service connected or secondary to my other feet issues.
That all being said if I do have Celiac, SIBO, or other gastro issues should I file for that? I really don’t want to somehow have the 40% rating reduced due to pyramiding. I know celiac is a separate code 7335 and not included in the other 4 issues that are rated together but I have chronic diarrhea and lot of it all does bleed together. Celiac is either a 30, 50, or 80.
Has anyone had all these gastro issues and what or how did they rate all yours together?
