Hello, I'm looking for suggestions.
I have mild but noticeable Xanthelasma on my eyes, upper and lower. I recently burned them off and after much pain, I'm at a place where I can live with them and don't mind looking in the mirror.
I have always eaten pretty clean, yet this still developed due to the natural high levels of LDL.
I have changed my diet and dropped butter and replaced it with Blue Bonnet/Country Crock etc any spread that does not contain cholesterol. However, I just read that I should actually stay away from Coconut Oil and Palm Oil as they are factors in developing Xanthelasma and most all contain Palm Oil.
I just started a statin-Lipitor 10ml and hope this will also help keep them at bay.
I'm hoping someone can recommend a new spread for me to use. I have been using an avocado spread I've been making for years but sometimes I just want toast with butter and I'm at a loss.
From what I understand about this condition is it's very relevant in the UK, so if there are any British TCS members who suffer or know of someone who suffers from this, I would love to hear how they changed their diet, if at all.
Thanks...
