How do I build a stomach of steel?
There is alpha in being able to eat food of questionable expiry-date/hygiene and being able to brush it off. Namely cost savings, more choices for eating out, and more peace of mind.
I've already noticed that eating yogurt seems to iron out a somewhat lackluster diet. And it works extremely well within 1-2 days of daily consumption.
Anything else I should go for?
There's a big difference between food that has genuinely gone bad and things that are past their expiration date, since the later are often quite conservative, especially if things are kept cold or sealed. You may still be able to build up your gut microbiome, but I wouldn't think of it as some kind of superpower.
The most direct approach would be a fecal transplant from a person whose diet you wish to emulate. Barring that, I suppose diversifying your diet with an emphasis on fermented foods and probiotics has the best shot of working e.g. yogurt as you mentioned, kimchi, kombucha, natto, miso, different sorts of pickles and vinegars, etc. Also maybe figure out whatever this guy does to survive eating century-old military rations.
