Except that autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis, Crohn’s, even psoriasis are very interactive with the gut flora and immune system. Celiac almost certainly.

For instance, one common drug used to treat some autoimmune diseases is a sulfa drug. They do not know its exact mechanism, other than it affects the gut bacteria.

It's the gliadin. Celiacs test positive for auto-antibodies. And interestingly, don't get breast cancer, btw.

I know you are tempted but not everything is about gut flora. Did you understand the article you posted the link to?

It runs in families. Hello.
