You're probably correct that keeping the same diet could kill off the transplanted biome but a better diet can't necessarily improve the gut biome if desired microbes have gone extinct in that person. And there are likely cases where a person had the proper diet but some of their gut biome was destroyed by some other factor like a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
