Thanks for your research. Yeah I believe they are related in some measure, I don’t know if medical science will come up with something. They seem to be very slow on things like this.

Hi there, these don’t sound like traditional Gilbert’s Syndrome symptoms, but your Dr would be best to advise as they have the best picture of your health and other circumstances. Good luck.

Hi Donna, I’m sure these symptoms will be familiar to many, including myself! I take medication for acid stomach, and have had stomach problems for 20 years, I lost alot of weight after first getting Gilbert’s Syndrome symptoms, and often suffer nausea, vertigo, shakiness and chemical smells make me feel very unwell. Many of these symptoms could be put down to the liver struggling. When I am hungry I become jaundiced and very shaky. When I’m over tired I can get jaundice, abdominal pains and vertigo. Diet helps, as does regulation of excercise, stress and life in general! Plus getting lots of sleep helps (unfortunately I’m not very good at getting sleep). I don’t get attacks of vomiting and diarrheoa any more, possibly thanks to taking as many precautions as is reasonable, as mentioned, but also I took a series of high dose probiotics to try and get back the balance in my gut, which had clearly suffered from a number of years of diarrhoea. Very best of luck in trying to manage your symptoms. regards Adina

PS, I came across this statistic, but don’t have a record of from where: Studies show that people with GS are four times more likely to have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and also that 75% of those with CFS have allergies. In fact, some suggest that CFS is the effect of chronic allergies.

Hi re. the gall bladder, here’s a useful insight from some research: 25% of those with gallstones had Gilbert’s Syndrome, while only 3% of those without did. 15% of the stones were bilirubin stones, and most of the cholesterol stones had a bilirubin center, meaning that it acted as a trigger for gallstone initiation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=6253364&query_hl=7&itool=pubmed_DocSum
interesting! There are medications for nausea, do ask your Dr. best Adina

Hi, there is certainly speculation that the two could be one and the same, and that they certainly impact each other. I’ll be publishing a story about that in due course, from someone else who suffers both. Stay posted, best Adina

This is an interesting site. I was diagnosed with ME/CFS years ago and also GS. The Dr’s always said that GS doesn’t cause any symptoms but after reading other people’s experiences with GS I sometimes wonder whether all my symptoms are down to GS.

I would appreciate any info and help regarding GS and nausea. Is there a connection
between GS and the action of the gallbladder? I wake up in the morning really nauseated and it occurs within a range of one hour. I’ve tried sitting up and sleeping what I can and the nausea stays away. I’ve had no pain from the gallbladder and nothing I eat make me sick like the usual problem gallblladder causes. After I eat the
the nausea goes away or at least decreases in a couple of hours. I’ve had tests of my liver, pancreas, upper GI, a colonoscopy and found nothing wrong. I do have small gall stones though. Any help including medication to try would be appreciated.
