Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Yes dear, there might be elevated bilirubin associated with food poisoning as seen in typhoid fever, Celiac Disease, etc . Increased bilirubin level may be due to DEHYDRATION also.
However common cause of increased bilirubin are liver disorders such as Chronic Hepatitis B, C , Acute hepatitis A B, Autoimmune Hepatitis etc
You should consult him a physician for proper diagnosis
Hoping your query is solved.
