Enteric coated is just so you don't taste it and/or get the fish burps. It keeps them intact until they leave the stomach.
When you eat normal, real fish, digestion starts in the stomach, so it's okay. Fish oil also comes in plain caps, plain old liquid, and gummy bears.

There's no "the same," since probiotics, yogurt, and kefir will have all sorts of similar, same, and different blends of bacteria.
If you don't want to pop supplements, start with yogurts and kefirs and see if they help. If not, or not enough, try adding in some probiotic supplements, but don't stop the yogurt and kefir. It's not all or nothing. Mix and match.
