The Gilbert Syndrome application was created for those people who already suspect that they have this disease and for those who want to understand how to live with this disease.

It provides a simple and understandable description of what this syndrome is and recommendations for diagnosing GS.

Section - about Gilbert's Syndrome

The first screen provides answers to the most common questions about SF and presents a list of factors that provoke the manifestation of the syndrome. These factors should be avoided as far as possible in life and their effect should be reduced.


Section Useful and harmful products

This section includes a list of products - inducers and inhibitors of the enzyme glucuronyl transferase which is responsible for the processing of bilirubin in the liver.

The use of inducer foods in the daily diet and as food supplements will help reduce the level of bilirubin in the blood.

Glucuronyltransferase inhibitors are substances and products that impair the activity of this enzyme. Due to the low activity of the enzyme bilirubin is not completely processed in the liver which means that its level in the blood increases.
The use of these products is not recommended or recommended but in small quantities.

Useful links section

This section provides links to various helpful resources and discussions related to Gilbert's Syndrome. Through these links you will learn a lot about nutrition and daily regimen with SF what dietary supplements and medications will help you feel better and reduce the impact of high bilirubin on the body



For reference:

Gilbert's syndrome also known as genetic hyperbilirubinemia is an inherited condition that is associated with impaired processing and excretion of bilirubin from the body. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment resulting from the breakdown of red blood cells. Normally bilirubin is processed by the liver and excreted from the body through bile.

In people with Gilbert's Syndrome there is a decrease in the activity of enzymes (UDP-glucuronyltransferases) responsible for binding bilirubin to glucuronic acid making it difficult to process and excrete. As a result the level of bilirubin in the blood rises which can lead to symptoms such as jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes) fatigue nausea and irritability.

Gilbert's syndrome is a relatively common condition. It is estimated that it may occur in approximately 5-10% of the population.
