Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Slightly elevated bilirubin with no other symptoms can be caused by Gilberts syndrome. This issue is caused by some enzymes reduced activity. This condition does not need any treatment.
However before such diagnose, some other reasons should be ruled out. Your symptoms may be caused by viral liver infection and gallstones.
I suggest you to have checked conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin levels, viral liver tests and abdominal ultrasound.
Diarrhea can be also a symptoms of chronic intestinal infection. Please have stool test and stool culture test done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
