I have terrible digestion, always have. I nowadays eat more soup, which helps, but the only thing that really seemed to cure it was a chinese restaurant soup, in a country I lived in years ago.
I couldn't tell you the recipe or ingredients, only that it involved stuff like sea weed and fungus. Are there some things I can eat that would help my presumably poor gut health? Appreciate this isn't medical advice, more lifestyle pointers!

Sorry to hear about your situation, but the fact that you once had something that helps is hopeful!
To start, Asian restaurant soups will often use as base something called "miso" paste, which is a fermented food and can benefit your digestion. In addition, there is preliminary evidence that seaweed can be quite beneficial for the human microbiome.
Other ways to improve your gut microbiome health is again via adding fermented foods, such as kombucha, kefir, yogurt, kimchi, to your diet. Fermented foods contain live, beneficial bacteria that can lead to improvements in your gut microbiome. In addition, they contain a lot of compounds formed through the process of fermentation that are beneficial to you and the bacteria already in your gut.
I hope this helps you start towards better digestion, best of luck !
