I don't know anything about this, I'm afraid. MN seems v quiet today, so it might be a while before anyone who has any knowledge comes along

aloha knows quite a bit. Also google IAG and gulf war syndrome. Would be worth talking to or emailing the very lovely Paul Shattock at the University of Sunderland (Autism Research unit) as he has looked at this a little. Actually I think someone else in Sunderland has as well. Google gulf war and sunderland.

heres a link , not sure how having leaky gut in the father could lead to stillbriths, but these might be the people to ask.

My DH is just finishing his long term army career.His first wife suffered numerous miscarriages, and I had 2 before we had DD2. He didn't serve in the gulf, but did serve in other war zones so had to have all the necessary jabs etc.

I've read lots of stuff about the American jabs. This has actually happened-well presumably that's the problem anyway-in the UK.
