I've screened out a few times for elevated bilirubins. I drastically altered my diet and got them down, but they are still pretty high.

What range will most studies accept? The normal healthy level 0.2 - 1.0???

I just checked my last spaulding screening labs (they can send them to you now). For them the range is .2-1.2mg/dL I assume this is a basic range that would be the norm everywhere... but like they say, every study can be different.

Is it possible that eating meals too fast can elevate bilirubin? I've always been a fast eater.

For some having higher bilirubin level is a norm. If you have alot of blood loss which is common with doing too many studies the body may produce alot of immature red blood cells (rbc)to compensate. These smaller immature blood cells don't last as long and the body destroys them with the by product being bilirubin. As you ue to donate blood the cycle ues.
Condition such gall bladder stones can also interfere with liver ability to clear bilirubin as it interfers with bile flow into the intestines. A fatty high processed food diet promotes gall stones.
