10. Treatment
Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome will not need medication, asides maybe for some that will help with some symptoms. The bilirubin levels will often not be high and, even when they are, it is not a problem for the patient. Some lifestyle choices should still be followed, however.
If the patient recognizes a trigger for an increase in bilirubin levels then they should try and avoid those triggers. The patient should also avoid medications that can lead to further problems. The patient is also advised to eat a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of calories, and to avoid fasting where possible.
