What are some foods that will keep my gut in a happy healthy less irritated state? 

I want a whole list of foods  that are great for gut health. 

Do you know some? 

 

I'm so excited to go shopping for gut enriching foods. 

 

I'm finally ready to clean my diet of junk food, finally lol. Better late than never.

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes.

@BlackMaze but in that list I don't see any carbohydrates. How will I survive? 

I at least need some basic energy for functioning. Carbs give that.

@BlackMaze you know what I mean. If I only eat fruits and vegetables, I feel a bit of belching and bad bowel movements, like stomach upset and tummy ache. 

I eat a cup of rice to give some fiber to my tummy..

My biggest addiction is anything sweet - chocolate, ice cream, cakes, milkshakes, anything dairy (I can't live without milk, any milk ), muffin etc

I see something milky and sugary and I get hungry. 

I didn't get fat so I ate more. 

Is there any substitute to such foods that are pleasant and sweet tasting but not bad for health at the same time? 

 I have a hard time not eating sweet tasting stuff. I'm addicted to the sweet taste. 

 

I'm also addicted to carbohydrates like rice, pasta, wheat, bread etc because without it, I don't feel the energy to do physical and mental activities.

Prebiotic and probiotics (bacteria) which you get from fermented foods like greek yogurt or sauerkraut.

I suggest you do some research on the western diet, carbohydrates and ketosis. I think you’d be surprised.

Once you start eating “healthy” amounts of carbohydrates, things like fruits or dark chocolate will start tasting as sweet as the candy you’re currently eating.
