I agree that you should see a doctor, ASAP. Jaundice is often a symptom of liver problems and if there are any liver problems, you want to find out as soon as possible. Ketogenic diets do give more work to your liver so that may be an early sign that something is off.
One other possible cause of the jaundice is Gilbert's syndrome which is genetic (and not too rare). My husband has Gilbert's syndrome which causes excess billirubin and jaundice whenever he loses weight, regardless of the approach. Other than that, the syndrome has had little effect on his life. However, even if it turns out your jaundice is being caused by Gilbert's syndrome, you still want to find out ASAP because there are a couple of pharmaceuticals you will want to avoid, including tylenol (good news: there is actually a lower risk of heart disease!).
