Hi,

Gilbert's syndrome is a congenital condition in which the indirect bilirubin is elevated without having any symptom.

The whey protei powder supplement might be the cause of your bowel habits changes and having muscle weakness.

So, if it was your physician who advised taking whey supplement, I'd suggest to consult with him/her for another alternative.

If you took it by your own, then, I suggest to stop the whey protein supplement for some days. If no improvement, then, consult GI for further evaluation.

Wish you health!
