Triglycerides

Does Mono-Diglycerides which turn into triglycerides in our blood stream. Does it raise our triglycerides.?

I drink a creamer that has Mono- and diglycerides (prevents oil separation) in the ingredients. I found out it turns into triglycerides in our blood stream. What I want to know does it cause triglycerides to go up? I have very very high triglycerides, in the danger range!!!!! The Mono-Diglycerides are in a lot of food stuff I eat!!!! My doc's and I are having a hard time finding what is causing my high levels of Triglycerides. I've always had a healthy diet, I weight 130 lb. 5'3, and no other family members have it. The highest it's been is 1,734 (Triglycerides). So I'm very curious. Thank you for any information you can give. FYI I do have MS.

1. My understanding is that these should not convert to triglycerides, yet if your triglycerides are as high as you have mentioned, I would suggest to quit these foods too and hope it helps you more. Best people to ask this question would be dietitians actually, and conslulting a dietitian may help optimising your diet anyways, good luck
