my son got told he has gilberts syndrome in november last year we didnt know what was wrong with him at the start as he had turned yellow ( eye whites and skin ) felt ill very tired ,sick ,weak etc then had more blood test to be told he has gs. he also has coeliac disease which he has had for a year and a half now could these two be linked in any way .

also is there anything to help him feel better as he still feels very weak most of the time

Gilbert's Syndrome is generally harmless and it doesn't require any treatment. The yellowing of the sclerae (eye white) and skin is called jaundice and these features are common in Gilbert's Syndrome.

However, it is important for the further tests to be done to be certain that it is really Gilbert's Syndrome and not other nasty conditions.

Coeliac disease is not associated with Gilbert's Syndrome. As for coeliac disease, your son should be on a lifetime gluten-free diet. Consult a doctor or a dietitian if your son is unsure about the diet regiment.

If your son has already followed a gluten-free diet and still feels weak, consult a doctor. A full consultation and examination is required to find out the cause. Then only it can be treated accordingly.

Hope it helps.
