Sometimes "high" cholesterol has nothing to do with the food you are eating, sometimes it's just another way our bodies attack us. My cholesterol level is at 215 and I know it's not from the food I eat. I do not eat red meat, no eggs, I was using margarine with no chol, etc. I am a celiac and some of us do have high cholesterol. I also am seeing an endo about thyroid problems and if your thyroid is off, it effects everything. I take Celexa, but my chol was high before I took it, so I feel it can't be it.
Just a few thoughts!

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
