High bilirubin.: An elevated bilirubin does not result from gastritis. I feel this needs further investigation right away. You can seek a consult with one of us here and upload your blood tests for review, or seek a local specialist. But this requires further attention.

PPI and bilirubin : Although very rarely PPIs can cause elevations of liver tests, this is an extremely rare side effect for that type of medication. It is not likely that the PPI is the source of your elevated bilirubin, especially if your other liver numbers themselves are normal. You should see a gastroenterologist to sort it out. Good luck.
