MS autoantigen can be detected and maybe controlled by diet.
According to some recent research, MS autoimmunity begins in the gut, attacking proteins of some bacteria. These autoimmune cells do not attack directly myelin but they target instead a protein called fucose. This could then make the myelin sheaths a secondary target of the immune system.
A previous report found that the intestinal flora of MS patients was different from that of healthy individuals, and this could be the origin of all the problems:
- Acinetobacter and Akkermansia were 4 times more common in patients with multiple sclerosis than in healthy controls
- Parabacteroid, a species of bacteria was four times more potent in healthy subjects

Maybe it could be worthy to look for a diet that promote those good bacteria.

Re: Caring about gut microbiota
Oats and the other foods from the link you posted are considered a good prebiotic. Prebiotics are types of dietary fiber that feed the friendly bacteria in your gut but they do not create beneficial bacteria.
Getting good bacteria in the gut in the first place when good bacteria is low or not there can be done through the consumption of a variety of food including:
Jerusalem artichokes ...
Bananas ...
Polenta ...
Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables (kale, cabbage, and cauliflower) ...
Blueberries ...
Beans ...
And of course my personal favorites, fermented plant-based foods like pickles and sauerkraut as well as drinks such as water and milk kefir, all loaded with beneficial healthy bacteria to aid in gut health.
