I like either fresh pita (warmed if I'm at home) or pita chips with hummus. I think Stacy's pita chips are safe but haven't checked the ingredients in ages. You can also make your own pita chips fairly easily.

And if you like hummus, be sure to try the Artichoke Hummus on this board. Very different - no tahini, for example - and delicious.

I haven't made these in ages but I bought a lot of strawberries on sale and remembered this recipe. Still delicious and a great thing to remember as summer fruit becomes available.

Next I'm going to make this chicken teriyaki (something else I haven't made in a while) and use the leftover pineapple to make pineapple rum muffins (something else I haven't made in a long time). Yum!

Something you say does not make sense. It is impossible to not have any good bacteria.

Was this test done by a conventional doctor or a naturopathic/alternative medicine doctor? What kind of test was it? A blood or stool test? The reason I ask is there are no known test to check if you do or don't have good bacteria as there are over 1500+ different kinds of bacteria in the colon. And to date only about 500 or so are known. Something doesn't make sense. There is a breath test of small intestine bacteria overgrowth but it is not very accurate. Presumably this was not the test you had.
