Hello!

If such patient visits my clinic, will advice:

1. Jaundice is a health problem where liver functions are slowed down. Your bilirubin was high, and it takes the liver long time, at least 3 months to recover.

2. Oily, junk food, foods containing high fats, maida should be avoided for at least 2 months.

3. Your bilirubin was on higher side, 2.7 . It should come below 1, for levels within normal limits.

4. Please check your Liver enzymes too. SGOP SGPT, to check the liver functions.

5. If you are doing a physical workout, you should avoid fried foods, junk food, etc. These food items do not have any nutritional value, and for muscle activity, you need healthy food.

6. Please repeat your bilirubin levels now. If they are within normal limits, then you are in safe zone.

Please take rest, healthy food, for at least one month, after your bilirubin and liver enzymes are within normal limits. You may start workout slowly, after consulting your treating physician.

Wish you a speedy recovery
