Probiotics regular intake can improve sjogren symptoms

Research on mice shows that keeping microbial gut in healthy condition can improve sjogren symptoms.

interesting, and thank you for posting.

But how do we get these healthy gut microbiota?   I know people take probiotics, however I have read that the stomach acid kills those off before they get to the gut.

Its immensely complicated and much more research is needed.  I do think eventually medicine will figure out the micro biome and how to manipulate it to improve health outcomes.  Not any time soon though.   Probiotics don?t hurt but if it was that easy we would all already be gorging on them.   Fecal transplants have been tested in mice quite a bit (not with SJS but other diseases) to a positive effect...so they are ?working on it?.    No harm in eating healthy, avoiding antibacterial soaps/cleaners  and minimizing stress while research continues. .
