Service Connect IBS

Gut problems and gastric distress can have many causes, but there may be a link between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and being a veteran. Obtaining IBS VA disability benefits can be easier for eligible former POWs and Gulf War veterans than for other veterans due to presumptives established by the VA. However, any veteran who can show a link between their service and IBS can qualify for VA disability benefits.

Veterans who served in the Gulf War are especially prone to the condition, and IBS is a symptom of Gulf War Syndrome. Gulf War Syndrome is used to describe a range of chronic, unexplained symptoms affecting Persian Gulf War veterans. One study found that up to 25% of the Gulf War veterans who participated had IBS.

Doctors aren’t sure what causes IBS, but they believe it can be related to stress and environmental exposure to bacteria or pollutants. These factors put many veterans at greater risk because of their experiences in service.

Doctors can treat IBS with medication, but often, whether treated or untreated, it can negatively impact a person’s quality of life and result in mood disorders.

Research has found that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a factor in the development of IBS. The gut condition is about three times more common in people with PTSD.
