2. non-intestinal symptoms (fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, general stiffness and headache) associated with IBS. All of these symptoms are part of the Gulf War (GW) illness.

Clinical Trial Description

Specific Aims:

Aim # 1: Determine the efficacy of Visbiome on IBS symptoms in GW veterans.

Hypothesis: Treatment with Visbiome compared to placebo will improve global and individual symptoms of IBS

Aim #2 Determine the efficacy Visbiome in reducing non-intestinal symptoms of IBS (fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, general stiffness and headache).

Hypothesis: Treatment with Visbiome compared to placebo will improve non-intestinal symptoms of IBS in GW veterans.

Aim #3 Determine whether changes in gut flora and plasma cytokines correlate with treatment response in GW veterans ;
