Drink lots of water, eat lots of produce, and limit non-obligatory matzah intake.

During Pesach: Minimum 2 coffees per day, the more the merrier
Year round: Add 50 billion CFUs good quality probiotic daily.

If it's not a gebrocks issue for you, mayonnaise.

The more liquids and veggies you eat, the better. If you have soup five times a week, you can have plenty of matzah (if you don't overdo it).
Agav, you can do a natural reset by eating only fruit and veggies for a week or so (and wash on sprouted stuff for your chiyuvim). This results in, well, flushing your system (how it sounds), and after that you can go back to a regular diet.

It seems to me that a main reason Matzo is such a factor is because it is very dry, with no fat mixed in. Adding some fat, while it is not necessarily a traditional cure in most cases, can help fix issues when it comes to Matzo specifically.

Hence:
