This study is about ALS, but it shows that the gut microbiome can modify the inflammatory characteristics of that disease. Changing the microbiome can change the severity of the disease.
It seems reasonable that the gut microbiome (or the nasal microbiome, or maybe the 'stuff between your toes' microbiome) could influence the severity of ME. This doesn't mean that optimizing your microbiome would cure ME, but maybe it could reduce one or more of your symptoms a bit. I *think* it worked for me, curing me of type IV food sensitivity that arose with my ME, but I haven't noticed any other changes due to dietary changes, so I wouldn't consider microbiome modification as a strong prospect for reliable treatment for ME.
