Compounds on food that feed the good bacteria in your gut- these help probiotics flourish.

4. Probiotics

These are live bacteria that live in your gut that are beneficial for gut health.

5. Bile supportive foods

Bile is an important digestive juice that helps to break down dietary fats

6. Resistant starches
