Unrightfully Disqualified, looking to Appeal

I was too honest at meps, and wrote that i had had some stomache problems, although i dont remember what the prompt was. I know now that i have been disqualified for something i do not have, adn never did have. I went to my doctor and recieved my medical records, i went to the airforce doctor who also said i didnt not have it, and finally they sent me to a GI specialist, who as well said i had no problems, and the two doctors, (the airforce doctor, and the one they sent me to) had written a notice that i do not have adn never did have this problem. When i got the waiver adn it was sent to texas for review i was shut down, and dont know why. They disqualified me for this problem that i have proved 3 times i do not have. I need some help to over turn this and to contact someone who knows something about appealing this problem. Thank you very much.

I have two questions,
1. Didn't your recruiter tell you to not answer yes to anything they couldn't already see (ie. appendix scar)?
2. Why did you say you have stomach problems if you didn't?
I'm no expert and this is just a guess but even though you have doctors saying you don't have a problem they might just be going by you saying you have one as enough reason to DQ you.
