Thal minors tend to have lower cholesterol and that is not a problem. You do have very low vitamin D and B12 levels. Correcting both will help your health some. You will need a high dose of vitamin D to raise the level. I find that the weekly dose that I take of 50,000 IU once weekly works well for me. A sublingual B12 tablet that melts under your tongue is recommended. 1000-2500 mcg daily. The uric acid problem is reported often here and is related to the high production of red blood cells, many of which are defective and are filtered by the body. This is the same reason you had gallbladder problems.
