Metabolomics identifies the end products of bacterial fermentation of foods in the gut and allows the VA to understand the function of the gut microbiome. This understanding is necessary for deciphering the mechanistic relationship between the gut microbiome and gulf war illness. The methods proposed for metabolomics are commonly accepted methods in the scientific literature and provides a deep level analysis of the mechanistic relationship of the human microbiome and host diseases. This analysis will enable the project Principle Investigator (PI) and research team to assess whether elements of the human gut microbiome are related to symptoms of Gulf War Illness in Veterans.The contractor shall have previous experience conducting similar analyses in other patient populations, which will be leveraged for the results of Veteran participants.
