Some people with Gilbert's syndrome become mildly jaundiced from time to time. This may seem alarming, but is of little concern if the cause is Gilbert's syndrome. The jaundice tends to occur most commonly if you are ill with another problem such as: An infection. Starvation. Repeatedly being sick (vomiting). Following surgery. During times of exertion or stress. If you have Gilbert's syndrome there are some medicines which you should avoid if alternatives are available.
