Subject: Gilbert's Disease I had gotten blood work done awhile ago b/c I was bitten by a tick. My Dr. decided to get a full workup so they tested everything. Well apparently there is a condition in the liver with some enzyme missing that, when you fast, it can cause your eyes and even skin to turn yellow if you fast for long enough. It's on WebMD http://www.webmd.com/hw/raising_a_family/nord317.asp
Its hereditary too. Anyone have an experience with this? There are other names for it like "familial jaundice" and whatnot. Its completely harmless other than turning yellow if I don't eat for a long time. Edited by kettlebellcrazy 2007-01-10 10:23 AM
