What Causes Yellow Skin And Yellow Colored Cornea?

my 18 year old daughter is doing a juice fast (she is drinking the Bolthouse Farms 100% fruit juice smoothie), which started Monday morning and today she started getting yellow skin and the whites of her eyes are turning yellow? What should we do to make the yellow go away?

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

Yellow discoloration of Eyes and skin can occur due to Jaundice.
There is no point in waiting.
Get her investigated.
I would advise you to get her following investigations:
1. Liver Function Test
2. Viral Markers.
Ask her to stop the juice fast and to take high carbohydrate diet, as in jaundice there are chances that she might get into low blood sugar status.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion, I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. If you wish to discuss the problem further , you may please ask.
Stay Healthy.
