Previously, Dr Megan Rossi shared the three biggest myths surrounding gut health that people believe to be true.

Dr Rossi said one of the biggest myths is that people often think they have to follow a restrictive diet to be healthy.

'So many people think they need to eat a certain way, but looking after your gut health is all about inclusivity, moderation and plant-based diversity,' 

she told Daily Mail Australia.

Dr Rossi recommends we try to eat 30 different types of plant-based foods each week as these contain 

'different fibres and chemicals that feed the different bacteria in your gut'.

'From wholegrains to vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds and nuts, research has shown that those who hit 30 have a more diverse range of gut microbes than others,' 

Dr Rossi said.

'This is a marker of good gut health and has also been linked to better long-term health.'

The second myth the expert is keen to bust is that cutting carbohydrates will help your stomach.

'Carbs have been unfairly stigmatised when it comes to our health, but they are not to be feared,' 

Dr Rossi said.

'Cutting carbs means you also cut important types of fibre, and this can have a negative impact on your gut bacteria, as fibre is their favourite food and nourishes our gut microbes.'

The third thing the 'Gut Health Doctor' said she often hears is that sucrose (or sugar) is bad for you gut.

'Actually, sugar is absorbed higher up your intestine, so it doesn't reach your lower intestine where the majority of microbes are housed,' 

she said.

'This means you certainly shouldn't cut out fruit because of its sucrose content.'

Three simple things to improve your gut health 

1. Eat 30 different plant-based foods each week.

2. Move and exercise as much as possible to regulate your bowel movements and increase the diversity of your gut microbes.

3. Avoid unnecessary medications and smoking, as there is growing research to suggest these can impact our gut microbes.
