In the past two months, The single person Fans fell in love with the star of season 28 Joey Graziadei . Both fun and charming, Graziadei has also not tried to talk about his insecurity and mental health problems - topics that have only become less taboo on reality TV. More recently, Graziadei has become vulnerable on social media to discuss a diagnosis of childhood which sometimes makes the yellow of the whites of his eyes, following a massive awareness of the viewers concerned at home.

In relation: Amy Schumer shares the diagnosis in the middle of the concern of her changing face .

In An Instagram video Shared on February 29, Graziadei assured Bachelor Fans that he is in good health in the middle of the growing concern around the discoloration of his scleras (the white protective layer of your eyes). Graziadei noted that he had seen an influx of comments on his "yellow eyes", which, according to him, is a "harmless" symptom of a condition that he has been watching since he was a child.

"I wanted to jump here very quickly and talk about something on which I see a lot of comments, which is" Joey's Yellow Eyes ", says Graziadei in the clip. "So, to give a little context on this subject, I have to come back to the moment when I was in high school."

Graziadei remembers that when he was a teenager, he became really sick. After "about a week and a half" not to feel good, his mother made an appointment with a doctor just to make sure that his illness was not too serious or went to something worse. During his visit, the doctor ordered blood tests, which then led to an unforeseen diagnosis.

"The straps have shown that my number of bilirubin was very high. It means that there could be something that was wrong with my liver," said Graziadei.

Bilirubin is the ramification of old decomposed red blood cells and is yellow by nature. In healthy bodies, bilirubin is treated in the liver, alongside other waste, then moves in the intestinal tract before leaving your body, According to the Cleveland Clinic . High bilirubin levels often mean that your liver does not completely treat this waste. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB

THE Bachelor Star was advisable to obtain a liver ultrasound. He also looked for a second opinion from another set of doctors, who confirmed that Graziadei had no hepatitis, but had a liver state.

"They diagnosed me with something called Gilbert syndrome He reveals in his Instagram video.

Gilbert syndrome is "a common and harmless hepatic condition in which the liver does not properly treat bilirubin", according to Mayo Clinic. Although the condition does not require treatment, it is genetic.

"Gilbert syndrome is caused by a modified gene that you inherit from your parents. This gene generally controls an enzyme that helps to break down bilirubin in your liver," said the Mayo clinic. "When you have an ineffective gene, your blood contains excessive amounts of bilirubin because your body does not produce enough enzyme."

In relation: Ex- Bachelor The host Chris Harrison breaks the silence after being canceled: "I was used."

In addition to "an occasional yellowish shade of the skin and whites of the eyes", people can experience thrusts when they are stressed or deprived of sleep, which are both side effects of reality TV, Graziadei recognizes in His video.

That said, the star of reality is well aware of his condition and his associated symptoms, and he wants everyone to know that he is doing perfectly well.

"In the end, I am told that I am in good health," reiterates Joey. "It is something that affects the whites of my eyes, it makes these jaundice levels, which is why they seem a little more yellow."

As we get older, Graziadei says he will pay more attention to the condition. "I want to understand my health and make sure I'm good," he shares.

In the meantime, he is grateful for all the messages concerned and warm.

"I appreciate that everyone takes care of me and asks me if I am well. But to my knowledge, I will be well as I can be, and I will continue to look," concludes Graziadei.
