Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
I understand your concern. However Gilbert syndrome is a benign condition caused due to congenital absence of an enzyme. There are no treatment currently available to cure the condition.
Bilirubin levels usually would always be mildly elevated without causing any damage. Improved hydration, avoiding stress, avoiding unnecessary medications and fasting may improve your levels a bit. But I am not sure this would help you through the medical test for armed forces.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health.
Regards
