I do have a fear that staying vegan will have other negative effects, unrelated to cholesterol - esp brain and bone density related. For me that means cutting out cheese, milk, and butter as much as possible. But having fish and lean meats 1-2 times per week.

I tried going vegan for ~10 years after reading the scientific research, then started getting stomach ulcers and constant diarrhea. Tried with paleo (meat and veggies) as I thought the carbs were the culprit and I decreased the frequence of the accidents. Finally I went carnivore and within a week I had zero symptoms. I was strict carnivore for 8 weeks (lost 8kgs) then I tried reintroducing other food but without great success. These days I eat mainly butter, eggs and steak and I've been good for 2.5 years now (I was eating organs too at first but I don't really feel any difference if I don't eat them). Eating the occasional sweet from a bakery makes me feel a bit bloated. Eating some fruit For 1.5 years eating vegetables would cause the diarrhea to reappear, after 1.5 years I can eat vegetables occasionally without problems. It's like a "limit" got reset or something.

If you're concerned about bone density then why are you cutting out dairy products? Those are one of the best sources for the calcium we need (although it is possible to get enough from other foods or supplements). https://peterattiamd.com/belindabeck/ https://peterattiamd.com/belindabeck/

  Personally (not the parent) I'm vegan for moral reasons, so I'm being vegan despite (not for) it's health effects. As every extreme diet, it requires monitoring nutrition intake and occasional supplementation in order to avoid micro- and macroelement deficiencies and health problems.

I was vegan for about ten years but it was socially crippling. These days I am vegan or vegetarian 4 or 5 days a week and have chicken or seafood the other there. A recent angiogram showed my coronary arteries are clear at 62 years old despite higher than acceptable LDL lower than normal triglycerides and an overall cholesterol score of 260
