How long does it take for stomach lining to heal?

I'm a bit concerned about my bilirubin level because it's been at 1.4 for the last 5 years, but I never paid much attention to it, and my doctor hasn't brought it up either. I take ursocol tablets daily. Do you know why my bilirubin level might be staying the same for so long?
