The investigators will enroll a total of 120 patients with GWS and 90 healthy controls.
Detailed Description:
The investigator will assess the prevalence and role of abnormal gut microbial fermentation among Veterans with GWS and investigate the efficacy of diagnostic and treatment strategies directed at indigenous gut microbes in the management of GWS.
