I have suspected gallstones, so had a fasting blood test last Friday and have a scan next Tuesday. So got blood test results back today. My ESR was borderline, it has been all year, so the doctor isn't worried about that. My liver came back abnormal with Cholesterol of 7.1.
I am fasting every other day, except for weekend when I have 2 UP days, I am cutting down on fat, do have the odd bit of chocolate, but most stuff I buy is low fat, like with our dinner last night we had low fat fromage frais, I eat light philadelphia, but only on DDs, 0% fat greek yoghurt.... etc, and the odd egg, so why is my cholesterol so high. Am I imagining it or is this diet supposed to lower your cholesterol....
Bit worried now as the doctor will assume I eat lots of fat, otherwise she may put me on medication that makes me gain weight.... dont know what to do... is there anyone else with these problems?
