"severe itching from increased billirubin levels"

That's interesting. What kinds of things cause increased bilirubin?

I was once diagnosed with too low or two high - I cant remember which (is that important? :) )

But the itching was crazy... What finally stopped it was that I stopped eating bread. I don't know if it's the wheat or the chemicals in it... I can tolerate wheat with tomato sauce (it seems) but I try to avoid it completely, which has made a HUGE improvement in my health (lost a lot of weight, feel better)

But this is the first time I've ever heard anyone ever link bilirubin and itching

Bilirubin is the result of a breakdown of red blood cells

Liver is involved in it.
