Health experts are warning people against the ‘Macro Diet’ diet after it was found to be linked to more than half a million cases of the bacterial infection.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NIHEM) has confirmed a rise in cases among the population with the antibiotic clindamycin in the past year.
The latest numbers from the Australian Centre for Health Statistics (ACHS) show a 2.8 per cent increase in cases in the six months to the end of September 2017, compared with the same period last year.
“This is a significant increase in numbers and we would like to note that it is a serious concern and we have advised patients to avoid the macro diet for at least two weeks after starting treatment,” Dr Susanne Reiter, an ACHS spokesperson, said.
Dr Reiter said the ACHS would also recommend that all people who are considering the macro-diet should seek out a qualified health professional for further advice on the diet. “
People who have recently been prescribed antibiotics should be advised to continue treatment, and people with symptoms or who are new to the treatment should continue their course.”

The ‘macroscopic’ diet is a dietary plan that focuses on vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy products. “
The ‘macros diet’ is a safe and effective way of controlling certain bacteria, which is why we encourage people to continue taking the drugs they are prescribed.”

It has been associated with an increase in some cases of colitis, and the ABC’s The Project has discovered a group of people are turning to it for help with their symptoms.
But Dr Reyer said it was not a “one size fits all” approach to the problem.
“For example, a diet with a lot of high fibre foods may be beneficial, but may not be a good choice if the person’s symptoms are getting worse,” she said.
She also warned that the ‘narrow-minded’ approach of some experts was being misguided.
“There are some people who have tried the ‘micro-dichotomies’ that restrict foods, but then go on to say that their symptoms have not gone away,” she told the ABC.
“What we have found is that there is a wide range of people who may have a problem that may not need to be addressed.”
The “macro-dish” diet, which focuses on eating mainly vegetables and fruit, is a popular way to treat chronic colitis.
It is also used to treat obesity and is generally recommended to help people lose weight.
Dr Reite’s concern comes as the ACDH said a report published in the journal Gut and Diabetes revealed a rise of 2.5 per cent in cases of Crohn’s disease in the same six-month period.
Crohn disease is an autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation in the lining of the small intestines.
“We would like people to understand that they are not immune to the symptoms of Crohns, and they are also not immune from the risk factors for this disease,” Dr Reiser said.
The ‘Macros Diet’ has been a popular health advice for more than a decade, and has been recommended by the Australian Medical Association and the Australian College of Gastroenterology (ACG) to people suffering from colitis and other chronic conditions.
Dr John Pangilinan, a GP and chairman of the ACG’s Crohn and Colitis Taskforce, said people should not go “down the macro” route.
“It is a diet that is based on a low-carbohydrate, high-fat, moderate-protein, low-sodium, high fibre diet,” Dr Panginan said.
You don’t want to go for the low-protein option that’s not ideal for people with chronic colics.” “
Some people are going to want to eat more carbohydrates, others are going.
You don’t want to go for the low-protein option that’s not ideal for people with chronic colics.”
The ACG also recommends people to avoid dairy products, particularly hot dogs and hot dogs with sausage, and to avoid processed meats and hot sauce.
The ACGP has also warned people against taking any supplements, which are known to increase the risk of the infection.
Dr Pangsonan also urged people not to consume “any foods that contain sugar”.
“If you’re thinking about eating something that contains sugar, we’d suggest you steer clear of it because that’s a potential toxin,” he said.
Dr Mark Whitehead, chief executive of the Australian Crohn Disease Foundation, said he was “very concerned” about the rise
