New researchers say people with multiple sclerosis may have a treatment in their very own guts.

They create Immunoglobulin A, or IgA: antibodies that travel to the brain to suppress inflammation caused by MS.
While experimenting with lab mice and human samples, researchers observed IgA completely block MS inflammation.
