Probiotics are great, but I don't eat any dairy except for ghee. I have tried several different kinds of yogurt, including making my own from raw milk. I cannot tolerate any of it. I eat homemade raw sauerkraut which is has probiotics and Vitamin C.
I've heard of Shiritaki noodles. They're made from yams, right? I'm not eating any starchy vegetables right now. I may try some later, but probably in a less processed form.
I'm not sure I'm convinced of the value of the glycemic index. Fructose has a very low glycemic index, yet it destroys the liver, causes overgrowth of gut bacteria, and even leads to insulin resistance. I am extremely dubious of fiber as well. Have you read "Good Calories, Bad Calories?" Taubes tells the history of fiber, how it was proposed that maybe the reason refined carbohydrates are harmful is because the fiber was removed from them. So far, no studies have shown clear benefits from fiber, but researchers cling to it as an excuse to hold on to the lipid hypothesis, and thereby keep their funding.
