I am waiting for AFPC to finish the informal board process. My peblo said I should have my rating within a month but I still have yet to hear anything. My question is about GI conditions. I have 6 GI conditions. I know that they can combine some with the same rating. What if I have one rating for my esophagus and another for my colon? Has anyone had multiple ratings for each condition?
 
§4.113 Coexisting abdominal conditions.
There are diseases of the digestive system, particularly within the abdomen, which, while differing in the site of pathology, produce a common disability picture characterized in the main by varying degrees of abdominal distress or pain, anemia and disturbances in nutrition. Consequently, certain coexisting diseases in this area, as indicated in the instruction under the title “Diseases of the Digestive System,” do not lend themselves to distinct and separate disability evaluations without violating the fundamental principle relating to pyramiding as outlined in §4.14.
