After you have been very sick with a food intolerance reaction, do the whites of!


Question: After you have been very sick with a food intolerance reaction, do the whites of your eyes ever turn yellow?
The last time I had a reaction so bad that I vomited in addition to having diarrhea, the whites of my eyes were yellow for several days after wards. Is this typical? Chicken is what makes me so sick.

Answers:

Vomiting can force small amounts of blood out of capillaries in the eye. The blood gets diluted and with the mostly white color in the background, the blood appears yellow.

Jaundice is less-likely possibility. Jaundice is a build-up of bilirubin, which is a yellow pigment formed by the breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin builds up when liver infection or other liver problems prevent proper break down of red blood cells. Jaundice doesn't come an go within a few days - its takes a week or two to develop and it persists until the cause is eliminated.
