Using A Bili Light To Treat Gilbert's Syndrome Jaundice

[GilbertsSufferor]

So I was thinking they use Bili-lights to treat Crigler Syndrome. Its suppose to work less efficient after age 4 cause of the skin thickening. Would it be ok to work with Gilbert's Syndrome? Would there be any side effect? Would the soluble Bilirubin pass the brain barrier? Do bili lights have any long term side effects? Would the light get pass skin barrier enough to be effective?

b2 depletion

could you elaborate on this a little? couldn't you just take B2 during treatment of phototherapy?

Yup, you can supplement with vitamin B2 to counteract B2 depletion. Are you asking your questions in preparation for Step 1 or for another reason?

Looking at OP's username I'm going to go with scenario number two.

Yes its benign, but most of us suffer from fatigue, brain fog, and lists of other symptoms, along with jaundice at a young age which causes depression and anxiety.

Another reason, I'm a sufferer and have been searching and trying to find a fix for jaundice in gilberts syndrome. Some say the jaundice should be periodical but most of us are jaundiced 90% of life after 20.

I have seen 2 docters and they say there is nothing they can do. Before I try this I will go see my main docter. Just wanted to get some opinions on this before I do that so I know what to bring up.
