Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL
"My Cardio. wants my LDL lower than the 88 it is now, because of my having a bypass surgery in 1999, he wants it below 70.  After about a week of taking 4- 625 mg pills per day I have noticed a change in bowl movement. I used to go once at breakfast, then about an hour later had another Bowel Motion, but more violent and loose.  Would stay in the restaurant until 2nd Bowel Motion most of the time, or make sure I was close to one of my usual emergency rest stops--Dr. office, gas station, Port-John or rest room at the mall when doing post breakfast walk.  Now, if this works on my A1c (now 7.5) and lowers LDL, without extreme side effects, I will be very happy.  After this short period of time I&#039;m feeling pretty safe about not being caught unprepared."
