The musician's wife Dwina Gibb rushed Robin to a medical centre near his Oxfordshire home, where doctors diagnosed him with an inflamed colon.
The Bee Gees star's spokesperson said Gibb is still undergoing a battery of medical tests, but is trying to stay positive during this "difficult time".
Gibb's rep added: "Robin would like to thank all his friends and fans for their good wishes and sends them his love."
The singer is also asking for his family's privacy to be respected as his treatment continues.
Gibb was also treated for stomach pains in April, when he suddenly fell ill at his home.
