Suggest An Appropriate Diet To Control Bilirubin And Triglycerides

Hello Doctor. I have got yellow skin last year. My tests were ok: not anemia, but i have my bilirrubin a little high. My doctor say it was maybe due to high beta carotene. But in my last exam I got high triglicerides, too. Can you please recommend me some food guidelines to follow in order to reduce my yellowish color and reduce my triglicerides and bilirrubin? I used to eat lot of candies and dessert, so now Im cutting them off. Plus I dont drink carrot juices, but I eat lots of greens. Maybe I should add more colors to plate (p.e. blue, purple, etc) Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Increased level of bilirubin could indicate hepatic dysfunction. It would be advisable for you to take diet rich in antioxidants and antioxidant along with lipotrophic factor supplementation.
Kindly quit smoking or alcohol intake if you are habituated to as it can increase triglycerides and damage liver cells.
To bring down triglycerides, what dietary habits you have started to follow seems fine. You need to do regular moderate exercise like brisk walk for about 30 minutes everyday.
You can test for your liver functioning and triglyceride level after 3 months to know the response. Gradually,, you should feel better and overcome this problem.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
