Very Weird Symptom...?

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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
