Summary
The adverse impact of Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) on the health of veterans and on the resources
of the VA Healthcare System underscores the need to resolve its underlying cause. In
response, the investigators propose to investigate the central hypothesis that gut bacteria
may be responsible for symptoms associated with GWS. The investigators will enroll a total of
120 patients with GWS and 90 healthy controls.
