No, missing the bacteria alone won’t cause jaundice since a lot of the bilirubin will just be extracted from the feces as well. You need to have high levels of bilirubin being created or a failing liver that can not process it and pass it off into the intestine. If anything if you’re drinking the same amount of water and your urine turns more yellow, it probably means that you’re producing more bilirubin. But I don’t know why this is new, I’ve known this intuitively, watching my own body process and health and diet, and noticing that when I excrete more bile, my urine turns more yellow. As does my feces.
