Default Diet, Gut bacteria, and autoimmune disease?

I have heard several people say that their symptoms are better or worse depending on whether they eat a particular diet. I have always been very skeptical.

I have had to change my own diet due to having liver problems. I have greatly decrease my carb intake, especially sugar. I have decreased the amount of meat that I eat. I have also decreased the amount of other fats that I have eaten such as butter. I also quit drinking beer.

I am also not having as many symptoms of MG. I have not considered that diet change may be related to my improvement.

I found an article about a study that has found a relationship between certain gut microbes and a specific autoimmune disease involving the eye.

If gut microbes can stimulate autoimmune disease in the eye, is it also possible that it could effect other autoimmune disease?

Diet change causes gut microbe change. This is something to think about.

The article

Abstract for the original study
