Question 1

how many cups of coffee should i take everyday... i'm 40 yrs old  and my triglyceride is high...?

Accepted Answer

Coffee intake: Its your decision....Coffee does not reduce triglyceride levels but may worsen if you lots of cream & sugar.

Question 2

before blood glucose and triglyceride blood tests can you have black coffee?

Accepted Answer

Variable advice: There has been recent evidence that it doesn't greatly affect the result but i still don't recommend it.

Question 3

what are the effects of raised triglycerides in my case they are raised to 350 and cholesterol is 210 ?

Accepted Answer

Part of risk for: Heart disease. You can reduce carbohydrates, lose weight and exercise at least 30 minutes each day and consult your doctor for advice about diet.

Question 4

what do you suggest if my triglycerides raised to 440mg/dl but after3rd day it is 182mg/dl total cholestrol is 190mg/dl?

Accepted Answer

Modify your diet: Sounds like your TG's respond to diet. Alcohol and carbohydrates will raise TG's significantly. I would work on reducing your alcohol intake and/or reducing your simple carbohydrates. Sugars and starches such as rice, bread and pasta will raise them.  You report a high number, but I really get concerned over 500. You may wa to wet with a dietician at some point.

Question 5

my appetite is gone. force myself to eat. stress? remeron gave me an appetite but raised my triglycerides. lexapro (escitalopram) makes nausea worse. what will help?

Accepted Answer

Get seen: I'm concerned you have a physical lesion obstructing your gut. Even if you don't, you need to find the reason. Sensible people -- even physicians -- don't buy "stress" as an easy answer. "eustress" is good -- it motivates you to excel. "distress" means you're helpless / feel helpless; if you're in an abusive situation, your physician can perhaps help u escape;are you so strung out you can't eat?

Question 6

raised cholesterol (6.73nmol) ldl (3.6nmol) and triglycerides (3.41nmol), can hydrocortisone 20mg tablets and clobetasol be contributing to increase?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Please recheck the levels after stopping the meds and or consult the  physician who is follow \ing you

Question 7

can consumption of medium chain triglycerides raise overall triglyceride levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But who is really checking for medium chain trig in food are you ? Generally dairy products are filled with triglycerides.

Question 8

will mcts raise the overall triglyceride levels in the blood?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Over all triglyceride level could go up. But mcts get metabolized quicker than long chain triglycerides. After metabolism it behaves like carbohydrates. Hence mostly it is not stored in fat cells.

Question 9

i have been drinking unfiltered coffee for five months and just learned it can raise bad cholesterol. could five months have caused my levels to rise significantly?

Accepted Answer

Not permanently: It may rise cholesterol a bit. Not permanently.

Question 10

i read somewhere some ingredients  in instant coffee is known to raise liver alt levels. ex heavy drinker. should i giv up ?? drink 1-2 cups a day.

Accepted Answer

Maybe the opposite: Two recent population-based studies (The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES] I and III) have reported that higher caffeine consumption (&gt;2 cups per day) was associated with a lower risk of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and a lower risk of chronic liver disease.
