So about three and a half months ago I had shoulder surgery done to correct instability in my right shoulder. About one month ago I had symptoms associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Crohn's Disease. These both I know are disqualifying as they are chronic problems. However the problem has completely gone away now and I think the cause of the symptoms were from the antibiotics that I took for my shoulder. My gastroenterologist agreed that the antibiotics were a possibility. So, since I know the cause of the symptoms and pretty much am fully capable of preventing another episode, is this still considered chronic and disqualifying?
