I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Elevated bilirubin (6.2) with normal MRI suggests a non-obstructive cause.
Possible reasons:
- Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
- Liver dysfunction (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis)
- Gilbert's syndrome (benign genetic disorder)
- Medication-induced (e.g., certain antibiotics)
Review your blood test report for:
- Liver enzymes (ALT, AST)
- Hemoglobin and hematocrit
- Direct and indirect bilirubin levels
Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized evaluation and guidance.
