The idea is that when you eat too little fiber, you have too few gut bacteria, as when you take antibiotics, and this causes the immune system to relax and makes pathogen entry more likely; whereas if you eat too much fiber, you have too many gut bacteria, the immune system works to control the bacterial population, and you have unnecessary inflammation and immune activity.
