The only advice from the dr's office was take fish oil 2 times a day (of course I told her that I already take 4), and exercise (which I really don't do). Thank you Elizabeth for the post! Originally Posted by deinekatze

That's good news! Thanks, Novak.Originally Posted by Novak
HDL goes down on this diet, but comes back after you finish. That is what the IP Doc/nutritionist told me, and indeed, that's exactly what happened. Within 2 months after I completed the program, all the other cholesterol levels stayed down (even without meds), and my HDL level was back up.

Hi Kelsey,
I've been told when on higher protein diets your kidneys and liver can be affected (temporarily) causing the BUN/CREATININE levels to rise.
Did your doctor address the higher levels in regards to your kidneys? And give you her thoughts? or concerns? Regardless, when you met with the endocrinologist talk with him/her about the higher levels (bring your lab report with you). Endocrinologists aren't just thyroid specialists.
Nope, but I am trying to get an appointment with the Endocrinologists. They have faxed my dr's office asking for information, lab results etc., so maybe something good will happen soon. Thanks!
