Yet many claim keto diets have cured their digestive issues.

Like a lot of diets that benefit people, the big thing is probably just making more food at home, and eating less processed shit.
Eating less sugar and replacing it with nuts and seeds, and not eating starchy vegetables and replacing them with leafy greens will increase your fiber consumption like 4x or 5x. I seriously doubt someone doing like bacon butter and steak keto will claim improvements in their digestive issues unless they were like very sensitive to an allergen or something and didn't know it.
Keto is generally emphasizes high fiber vegetables and flour substitutes that also generally have higher fiber.
Keto doesn't mean "no vegetables".
