I have hereditary high cholesterol. My number just came in at 303. I have celiac s so traditional fiber diet doesn t work. 1) Is that number dangerous; and 2) What can I do other than taking meds to help lower the number? Otherwise I am healthy, albeit a little over weight: Age 53, Female, 5 4 , 140 lbs, no medical issues, only take vitamins, have gone through menopause.
