You are doing everything right. Our bodies naturally make cholesterol.
Stick with your diet, try not to worry too much.

Unfortunately low density lipids are the fats that are sticky and. clumps in our arteries. And for some Of us, that’s true no matter how otherwise healthy we are. My dad died of a heart attack at 38. My brother has had double bypass surgery after years of exercising hard and taking meds (but not being very stringent with diet). My son is on statins and an extremely low fat diet. I take statin and have recently changed my diet to low fat and am acclimating to it.

I find gastric symptoms like constipation and gas are my chief complaints. I try to stay hydrated and take 2-4 benefiber gummies after dinner. That usually gets me going the next morning. If not, the next night I have a bowl of bran flakes with almond milk and chew fiber gummies again. I actually eat 3-4 benefiber gummies before bed every night. You can mix powder in liquid and drink it but I don’t like that.
It beats not addressing it.

Good luck.
