He wants to determine if there are significant distance differences between normal and disease states (while taking into account food type). I was concerned about having so many repeated measures and appropriately accounting for that to discern where is the true variability (ie. disease state?  Subject?).  Any ideas welcome.maybe I am over-thinking this?  Should he just analyze food types separately?
