My endocronologist told me last week that CD causes high chloesterol. I
was very surprised that she seemed to know about CD, because the last
time I was there in the fall, she knew very little. Her husband is a
gastro-radiologist. Have any doctors out there related high cholesterol
with CD? It is not in any literature that I have read.
I have high LDL levels of cholesterol (163). My HDLs are low at 40. My
triglycerides are at 41 and VLDL levels are 8. I cannot take the
cholesterol lowering drugs because they give me adrenal
insufficieny symptoms. My doctors insist, but it makes me so sick that I
feel I would rather take my chances and die of a heart attack then to be
bed ridden. Has anyone else out there had these problems? Two of my
grandchildren also have high cholesterol. Now my son is telling me that
I should not give them any fried foods (I never did) because they both
get such bad stomach aches. Humm? Carol in NJ
