Can Liver Tonics Help In Reducing High Bilirubin Levels With History Of Gilberts Disease?

hello, my daughter who is aged 26 was diagnosed with gilberts disease last year. her diet is very good and she doesn't drink alcohol. She has been very tired these past few months and her bilirubin levels are very high. She also keeps feeling faint. She has been to the doctor and she checked iron etc all ok, says live with it. my daughter has told her that there is liver disease in the family with a cousin on the list for a liver transplant since a wee girl. also auto immune disease is prevalent in my family. Not sure what else she can do , would liver tonics be ok to take to see if this will help her?

Hi , as ur daughter has been detected gilbert disease last year , there is always a chance of increased serum bilirubin ( unconjugated) because of defective mechanism in the uptake of unconjugated bilrubin from blood by the liver . But as u hv stated that the bilirubin is very high there must be increasd red blood cell destruction accompanying it. In gilbert disease the total serum bilirubin does not exceed 4mg/dl( So a blood investigation is required to rule out any infection .TLC , DLC
YES dear liver tonics ( herbal) are effective in such conditions n definetly it will normalise the bilirubin level as these activate the liver cells to work properly.
Please follow this
1) Tablet LIV.52 DS - 2tab after brkfast n 2 after dinner.
2) Triphla powder- take 2 gram with warm water before sleeping at night
3) syrup MANNOL 2tblspoon after brkfst n dinner
Avoid heavy meals at night
This measures will surely normalise bilirubin level ..do this for a month n come back to me.
