A good yogurt with live cultures. I like whole fat yogurts, because they have less sugar. Get a good, whole milk, sugar free yogurt and add your fruit and splenda. Less sugar, more fat.
Get outside. Work with your hands. Get dirty, it cleans up. I really think we need more exposure. God Bless.

Go to a health food store and buy a bottle of probiotic capsules — at least 30 billion per capsule. Keep the bottle in your refrigerator. I’ve used a couple of different brands, don’t remember their names, but they were both effective.
Sauerkraut...make your own, ready in a week or two.
Have you considered the GAP diet?

I’m not an expert but after reading about Hashimoto’s Thyroid which I have . . and the affects of “leaky gut” . . . you might want to take a look at the descriptions and reviews of these two items below:
I added Kefir by Lifeway to my smoothies . . . a few times per week instead of using 50% less sugar OJ or Almond Milk. I get the plain since I’m adding my protein powder and frozen berries.
and bought some Heather’s Tummy Fiber that has some prebiotics and other benefits.
I had been struggling to lose 10-15 pounds the last couple of years . . . with my Hashimoto’s and was finally able to get to my ideal weight this summer so maybe it helped “heal” my gut . . . maybe it didn’t.
Vitamin shoppe products work well for my wife

Try a Google search on ‘solaray probiotics’.

There are several different formulations.
I just started taking their Multidophilus-12 a couple of weeks ago. Their capsules require refrigeration and have an enteric coating to help allow passage through the stomach acids.
Also, Garden of Life Pro Defense Ultra for HSO's
Bubbe's saurkraut or any homemade lacto-fermented kraut (Not vinegar based)
Lifeway Kefir (plain)
Good luck
Do you drink milk? If so, getting some good kefir grains can give you a great, natural, daily dose of probiotics.
Check out Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic Formula
It is live cultures made from no milk, eggs, or fish.
Fermented for 3 years using 12 strains of lactic acid cultures.
It is a complete blend of prebiotics, enzymes, micronutrients, and organic acids to bring about nutrient absorption, metabolism and immune response.
Sold at Whole Foods Markets
NEVER allow the Dr. to prescribe oral antibiotics.
Take the shot and at least keep the drugs from directly killing your beneficial gut bugs.
I prefer Caprylic acid over Acidophilous for probiotics but both help.
Black Currant Seed oil capsules every day help keep bad stuff out of your gut and things moving nicely. Essential fatty acids are extremely important.
R-fraction Alpha-lipoic acid and Glutathione are strong anti oxidants. Better for me than CoQ10.
And if you think I am a kook already(?), I make and drink my own Colloidal Silver for over 14 years now.
Floristor.
About 4 years ago I switched to Raw whole milk in my coffee.
After about a month, virtually all my allergy problems went away.
I now use Raw whole milk yogurt on my oatmeal every morning. I never have a problem with digestion.
There is product called ‘prescript assist’ which is used by many doctors I know. It’s very pricey.
I use Natren’s Healthy Trinity daily.
I’ve always used vitamin G.
