Very Weird Symptom...?


HelpinOhio

My sheets have green stains on them. Just where my body and head touches the sheets and pillow case. There is something coming out of my body that is green and stains my sheets and pillow case when I sleep. It doesnt come out in the wash, it has ruined a few pillow cases. I thought it was just recently, but I look at my sheets from up to 6 years ago, and they are all stained green where my body was. Ive never seen this with anybody before. I am a very clean person, so its even more odd.

Has anyone ever heard of this before?

Im a 18 year old male and have had a mystery disease for nearly 7 years now, Ive been to doctors many times and they cant find out what it is. Ive had horrible symptoms for the past 1 1/2 years that has mostly kept me from even leaving my house. I finally think that I know what it is...Celiac Disease. Ive noticed that the more gluten I eat, the worse I feel. My mom was diagnosed with Celiac Disease years ago, but she never told me that she had it until 1 year ago. Most my symptoms match up.

I have 2 theories on this green stuff. 1. Something with the celiac Disease is doing something with my sweat glands to put a green tint to it. 2. The green stuff is excess toxins from my body that are coming out when I sleep. Im constipated, and I feel that my kidneys arent functioning properly to get all the toxins out because of Celiac Disease. Its a very weird symptom.

I'm not ruling out a disease process, but what about a chemical reaction from a lotion you are using. I discolored several shirts when I was a teen/early 20's with a acne medication for my back.

Wishing you the best figuring out the mystery.

I dont use any lotion. When I do use lotion its only on my hands in the winter.

I would get your liver checked.

Before this starts an "heated topic" I'm going off the chicken pox virus scenario. When the liver is overworked trying to detox (chicken pox virus) the body it resorts to the next system ~ the skin to flush out the toxins (the pox on the skin).

So I agree with your theory, and think liver testing could help find an answer. A lot of people post here about elevated liver enzyme test results.

Seeing as you're from Ohio and your body is bleeding green I would say you must be an Ohio University Bobcat!

Joking aside I hope you are okay and able to figure out what the heck is going on! I wish I could be of more help but, aside from the liver check I have no clue?

Best of luck.....

No, its nowhere near that green. And Im not even sure if its the sweat thats green, its something coming out of my body. It could be toxins, sweat, maybe something else, Im not sure.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
