For the gut microbiome, I would recommend avoiding probiotics as they are a complete scam. Instead, all that is needed is proper fiber to provide an environment where good bacteria thrive and bad bacteria get starved out. The easiest and cheapest fiber I've found is chia seed (same as on these pets!) Plus it is packed with omega 3s and has a superior omega 3 to 6 ratio. To get the most benefit, I crack 'em open putting them through the coffee grinder. Just don't let it sit in water too long or it turns into a nasty phlegmish gel (ew!) Also exercise caution and common sense to avoid a poo-splosion, afterall it is fiber.

I Quit Eating for 28 Days [Water Fast] : Day 1 (Introduction)
That's very sound advice! I do have chia seeds at the ready, will definitely be reminded to have them to repopulate my gut microbiome!
As for probiotics itself, I don't believe too much in pill form probiotics, but I definitely think things like Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother, fermented foods like kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, yoghurt, sour cream and fermented bean paste like miso can be very useful to "Restart the Gardern".
I will definitely be focusing on bone broth, a ton of veggies, I like some chlorophyll as well after I break my fast. But that's still a long way coming from now!
I am just about to post day 2!
