Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial

Transcending conflicts, service branches and generations, the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial will express America's lasting gratitude to the men and women whose lives were forever changed in service to our country.

National statistics show that there are more than three million living disabled veterans, including thousands who have returned from the current operations and desert storm.

The Disabled Veterans for LIFE Memorial Foundation was created to educate the public on the issues related to disabled veterans. The Foundation needs to first rally the public by recognizing and honoring veterans in a public forum in order to bring public awareness to the needs of our disabled veterans.

GW illness and GI tract problems

Many IBS patients experience symptoms in other parts of their bodies that may be associated with their IBS. These symptoms can be digestive, like nausea and heartburn, or totally unrelated to the digestive system, such as headaches and frequent urination. Sadly, these symptoms are often minimized by healthcare professionals and VA doctors.

It is interesting to find those who has filed for undisgnosed illness and desert storm deployed...today write/post about their most serious sympthom.

Yes it appear to the stem from brain changes; yet I had diarrehea after GW for 9 years straight. I now fall into the IBS group.
