“Over the next few years, we should be able to determine whether a person’s individual microbiome signature may be helpful as a diagnostic test for MS, as well as whether that signature has any prognostic value regarding disease severity going forward.

For now, probiotics are rarely used in treatment regimens for autoimmune diseases; however, with time and proven effectiveness, they could have the potential to offer significant health benefits.
