I've developed this habit of eating raw rice every day, even in the middle of the night sometimes. It's like I can't control it. Recently, I've been getting stomach aches and I'm noticing a lot of hair loss. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do to stop these symptoms or this craving?

I've just had some blood tests done, and it turns out my bilirubin levels are pretty high. I'm a bit concerned about how serious this might be. Can you please guide me on who I should talk to about this, and what kind of precautions I might need to take? Would appreciate any advice!
A high bilirubin level can indicate liver issues or other underlying conditions. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, for further evaluation. In the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and follow any advice your doctor provides.
