I know the forum isn't for personal medical questions, so I'm wondering if there could be an general causes of cholesterol rising over time on a WFPB diet. I consume no dietary cholesterol at all (nor do I consume any oil), nor have I for 2.5 years. However, while initially dropping when transitioning to a WFPB diet it has gone from 122 to 165 in about 9 months, which is somewhat alarming. And I don't think it's a one time test blip, as 4 months ago it was at 154 so it seems to be a steady rise.
I've read a ton about cholesterol in relation to a WFPB diet, and I've read a lot of anecdotes and discussions regarding cholesterol not lowering as hoped when someone transitions to a WFPB diet, but I can't find any information here or elsewhere about cholesterol lowering, but then rising again. Has anyone seen this? Any ideas of what could cause this type of phenomenon?
