Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Diet or silimarine wont rather help with elevated bilirubin level. You should rather be well diagnosed to find out what is the reason of such elevated bilirubin. There is many reasons of bilirubin problem including gallstones in bile ducts, pancreas cancer (this can be the first symptom), liver issues (viral infection, cirrhosis, tumors), blood hemolysis.
I suggest you to do not wait any longer with it. You should have blood work, liver tests (AST,ALT,GGTP,AP), liver virus tests (HbS-Ag, Anti-HCV), abdominal CT.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
