If I cannot take statins and have a lot of trouble with Wel-Chol what else is there?
My Drs. put me on every statin available and they hurt my hips so bad I cry. I was then
prescribed Wel-Chol along with My omega 3 capsules. The Wel-Chol is messing up my
stomach with all that gas and constipation. I just getting over a lower back sprain and
muscle spasms. My good cholestral is good, but my triclyserides are very high. Is there
any thing else I can do. I eat healthy, no sweets and I exersize in aerobics 3 hrs a week and in between I walk a mile on my treadmill. I can't go faster at present because of my
back bothering me.
Hi Marceil,
Great job being physically active. Activity supports high HDL levels and low triglycerides. Two additional factors that have a significant impact on triglycerides are sugar and alcohol.

I recommend consuming an adequate level of omega 3's via your supplement and diet, so the omega 3 capsules are a good addition.
All the best,
