Dear Sir thanks for writing to healthcaremagic.com you must not take alcohol if you have high triglyceride levels. best treatment for this much of triglyceride levels is life style modification. it includes optimization of weight, decrease intake of cereals and saturated fats, regular exercise, avoiding alcohol and foods with high glycemic index. a myth related to lipids is that for every kind of dyslipedemia you start avoiding fats and shift to carbohydrates. it is not true for triglycerides which increase more with carbohydrate rich diet rather than diet with more of unsaturated fats. what are other parameters in your lipid profile. they are more important in determination of future risk and treatment. if you ever had a bout of pancreatitis? for nodules, you must see your physician but at levels of triglyceride mentioned by you , they are unlikely to be directly related to it. sincerely
