Thanks for explaining bilirubin in a very easy to follow through manner. I've learnt about the 2 types of bilirubin and I'm now better prepared to understand my child's inflated bilirubin levels.

I saw my doctor because I get pain on the right side of my abdomen. I took a blood test that indicated high bilirubin. I have to go for imaging next week to try and narrow down the cause. Crossing my fingers. I've been a moderate drinker for years, so maybe I'm paying for it now. I have trouble sleeping too, though that could be because I'm into intermittent fasting. Thanks for this video. It explains it a bit better. Pray for me all!

Gut issues for the past 6 months has bought me here. Been joining the dots. Spent weeks looking at KZbin. You're probably thinking why haven't I gone to the Doctor, because he's incompetent. I will go back to my original Doctor... Long story. I've have been pretty well all my life I'm 55. I had full bloods done 1.5 years ago and EVERYTHING was normal range except Bilirubin which was high ( I'll pull my results out shortly). He didn't even flag it. I assumed it was my alcohol consumption. Since then I have had major stresses, poor diet, brother, mother dying, moving in to care for my father, he's gone now too. At the time my focus was on dad not myself. And if you're wondering my poop is all colours, mainly loose and thats yellow. I didn't think my body was capable of an array of grossness. Anyway onwards and upwards. Hope you all are doing well. 😊

Well I’ve been detoxing for 7 days and went and had blood work done my level was 3.4 now and he said he was sending me to a gastrologist because it could be liver disease! But just weird this only happed the week I’ve been having withdrawals like mild fever , diarrhea from the opioid withdrawal…

Since 2011 when I can find some med records I've had elevated levels anywhere from 2-4 bilirubin it's been up and down and I'm just realizing it now they still don't say anything to me about it but I've noticed it has been elevated for years. Trying to figure out if it's bad. I'm 32 now. Perhaps if hemoglobin which is sugar and carbs causing it maybe eliminating most of it is a fix. I'm currently on high fat low carb diet non processed whole.
