Lupus is an autoimmune disease that results in various symptoms such as rashes, joint pain, and memory problems. The article discusses how imbalances in gut microbiome can lead to overactive immune responses, contributing to lupus development. The hygiene hypothesis suggests excessive cleanliness in developed countries may hinder immune system maturation, leading to a rise in autoimmune diseases. Current treatments involve potent steroids, often with significant side effects. However, managing diet to improve gut health may represent a viable alternative to alleviate inflammation and lupus symptoms, emphasizing the critical role of gut microbiota in immune health.
