Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Stress, overexertion and going too long without eating can all bring on the symptoms of Gilbert’s syndrome. Fasting, which is when you go without food for a long period of time, may trigger the symptoms associated with Gilbert's syndrome. A healthy meal plan that includes regularly scheduled meals and snacks may help prevent the jaundice. A regular eating plan usually includes three meals plus two to three snacks daily. Eating regularly not only helps control the symptoms associated with Gilbert's syndrome but also helps keep energy levels up and aids in hunger control. Gilbert's syndrome does not lead to liver disease, but eating a healthy and balanced diet can help keep your liver healthy and prevent ill effects. A good diet for a healthy liver includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods from all the food groups, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean sources of protein such as poultry, seafood and tofu, low-fat dairy and healthy fats such as olive oil and avocados. Good food sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Getting more fiber in your diet is not only good for your liver but for your heart and digestive system as well. Men need 30 to 38 grams of fiber a day and women 21 to 25 grams a day. When increasing the fiber in your diet, do so slowly to prevent gas and abdominal pain. Dehydration, which is when your body does not have enough water to carry on its normal functions, may also trigger Gilbert's syndrome. Drink plenty of liquids.
