This type of question is difficult to answer for several reasons:
1. What makes you think there is something wrong with your digestion? If you have certain GI symptoms, then it's important to diagnose the cause and not assume that maldigestion is the explanation.
2. There is no evidence that a specific food like a fruit can improve the body's process of digestion, which is very complex and involves motility, enzyme production, hormonal mechanisms, etc. It's not realistic to think that a certain food can dramatically alter this process.
3. The most common food type to be maldigested is carbohydrates (fruits and vegetables) since humans lack or lose the enzymes able to do this. Proper diagnosis should be made if there is thought to be any true maldigestion of foods.
Fruits are easily digested. Papaya and pineapple are rich in enzymes.

There are a lot of diet changes we can suggest to help improve digestion. We may also add digestive enzymes or other supplements to support your GI tract.
Certain foods are acidic, trigger stomach acid, and are best avoided. So, half the remedy is to avoid triggering it; the other remedy is to eat foods that help.
