Hi, You can have probiotic diet, best food sources of probiotics are fermented foods, such as yogurt, quark, Yakult, sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi, tempeh, and miso. Fiber supplements that includes legumes, vegetables, fruits and nuts.
Vitamin D. Avoid seeds in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries and raspberries. Take food high in fiber which include whole-grain cereals and breads
, fruits (apples, berries, peaches, pears),
vegetables (squash, broccoli, cabbage, and spinach), and
beans, peas, and lentils.

Thanks & Regards
