Can I am able to donate blood after jaundice? If yes how many years after?

Question

It is acceptable to donate blood if you have had jaundice or hepatitis caused by something other than a viral infection, for example: medications, Gilbert's disease, bile duct obstruction, alcohol, gallstones or trauma to the liver. ... Guidelines on eligibility to give blood change from time to time.
The guidelines for blood donation vary from country to country and sometimes even in different blood banks. A person's suitability to donate blood depends on two general considerations that the donation will not be injurious to the donor, and that the donated blood will not be unnecessarily hazardous to the recipient. The American Red Cross Guidelines and the U.S. FDA Guidelines state that if an individual has suffered from hepatitis caused by a virus (hepatitis B or C, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus), or unexplained jaundice after the age 11, one cannot donate blood. Non-infective jaundice or hepatitis that is due to something other than a viral infection (medications, Gilbert's disease, bile duct obstruction, alcohol, gallstones or trauma to the liver) does not preclude blood donation.
