Steroids commony used for asthma & allergies - gut health, immune health

Cause for concern or not?

They do not know if the consequences are reversible or not. But the general guiding statement seems to be:
MAY NOT BE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN. MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED.

THE RESULTS SHOULD NOT CAUSE CONCERN. WHEN PEOPLE STOP TAKING THE STEROIDS THE BRAIN APPEARS TO RECOVER.

What do we think? We think it is very wise to work on improving the immune system via restoring gut health and other measures so that long-term use of oral and inhaled steroids may not be needed.

We agree with the statements in this article that, like many drugs, steroids should be used for the shortest time possible.
