Unforeseen complication
I have been a long time user of Beta Glucans 500mg for over 10 years. Recently I was exposed to a virus that went bacterial on me & my immune system went after it in Autoimmune mode. I have never experienced my own body attaching me before. Needless to say I ended up at my doctors office & immediately got a huge butt dose of antibiotics, 10 days worth of Penn VK & finally a steroid for 5 days. I'm finally getting almost back to normal. However, it would have been good if I had been informed that an immune modulator like Beta Glucans can be taken for too long & can set you up for such an occurrence. How long should I be off of them. Is there a blood test of something that my physician can order? I thought I was doing something good, but it can go out of control. I would appreciate more info on this subject, because I am at a loss as to how to proceed.
