7 (Non-Yogurt) Snacks That Improve Digestion

Okay, we're fudging a bit here, because while kefir isn't technically yogurt, it's awfully close—which means it has the same optimal mix of probiotics (live "good" bacteria that maintain balance in the gut) and prebiotics (nondigestible carbs that act as food for the probiotics).
