I don't know anything about the disorder. There is a nice description of it on the Mayo Clinic web site. It appears to be a Begin genetic disorder that results in a decrease in the supply of an enzyme in the liver that helps breakdown bilirubin. This results in an small amount of special kind of bilirubin remains in the blood after it is passes through the liver resulting in a mild jaundice.
Apparently some experts believe that Gilbert's syndrome is simply a normal variation in the range of bilirubin levels.
Under signs and symptoms it says "Some people with Gilbert's experience episodes of fatigue, weakness and abdominal pain. However, it's not known if Gilbert's actually causes such symptoms, or if they're related to stress or other conditions."
I would guess that at the moment there may not be an answer to your question
