How Can I Raise My Low Cholesterol?

Tuesday, 04 May 2010 09:04 AM EDT


Question: I have low cholesterol (around 125 with HDL of 36), and have been unable to get it higher. Do you have any suggestions?

Dr. Hibberd's Answer:

Low cholesterol may relate either to a favorable genetic code or to a relative malnutrition or malabsorption disease. There seems to be a raised risk of colon cancer in those low cholesterol, so be sure to be screened regularly. If your total cholesterol is low, you will have a correspondingly low HDL.

It might be worth your while to obtain a GI consultation from a gastroenterologist for further evaluation if you are not absorbing or digesting well.
