That’s a real shame, because adequate fibre intake is essential for digestive health, and eating enough can reduce the risk of several chronic diseases. In this podcast, dietitian Joanna Baker discusses how prebiotic fibre differs from other fibres and probiotics, and its specific role in supporting gut health. Joanna also touches on which patients benefit from boosting their prebiotic intake and debunks some the most common myths in the gut health space.
