While the exact causes of amyloidosis aren't fully understood, the condition develops when proteins in the body fold incorrectly and form clusters called amyloid fibrils or deposits. These deposits build up because the body has difficulty breaking them down and removing them. Some forms of amyloidosis can affect the digestive system, particularly in cases of AL amyloidosis and AA amyloidosis. However, the current research shows that amyloidosis is primarily caused by genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, or underlying health conditions rather than gut bacteria directly.
