This study will investigate the metabolite signatures of ME/CFS patient stool, urine and blood samples and the impact that co-morbidities (IBS and Fibromyalgia) have on these signatures.
In our research, we recognise that people with ME/CFS often have other health issues too, like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and Fibromyalgia. These additional health problems can change the biological data we collect, making it hard to tell what’s caused by ME/CFS alone.
To better understand this, we’re comparing the microbial and metabolic information from stool, blood, and urine samples of ME/CFS patients who also have IBS and Fibromyalgia, with those who don’t have these conditions, and with healthy people without these conditions. This helps us see how these additional health issues affect the biological markers in ME/CFS.
Our goal is to show that when studying ME/CFS, it’s really important to consider these other health conditions too, because they can influence the results. This approach can help us make more accurate comparisons and understand ME/CFS better.
