Hi,
Your liver enzyme parameter (SGOT, SGPT, ALP, GGT) are well within normal range.
Your direct bilirubin is also normal. Only your indirect and total bilirubin (normal upto 1.4) values are high
Total bilirubin = direct + Indirect.
Gilberts syndrome is congenital which causes increase increase in indirect to direct bilirubin ratio.
Your ratio is increased.
Mostly Gilbert's_syndrome dont have any symptoms and usually no treatment is needed.
For the diet, it should be whole grains, vegetables and fruits ie most of the diet should be of carbohydrates, moderate amount of fat. Consume less amount of protiens.
Strictly no to alcohol
Hope i am of some help to you
Bye
