In the video Leab discusses ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory bowel disease prevalent among veterans. UC causes inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, blood in stools, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Leab distinguishes UC from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), noting UC's more severe symptoms and visible colon damage. She explains how veterans can be service-connected for UC either directly if diagnosed during active duty or secondarily if linked to stress-related conditions like PTSD. She also outlines the VA's disability rating criteria for UC, ranging from 10% for moderate conditions with infrequent exacerbations to 100% for pronounced UC with complications like malnutrition and anemia.
