Mom blames Hot Cheetos, other spicy snacks for teen's health issues
CBS News ^ | July 23, 2018, 11:29 PM | Danielle Garrand

Rene Craighead, 17, of Memphis, Tennessee, estimated she was eating about four bags of the popular hot chip flavors when she began feeling sick to her stomach, reports CBS affiliate WREG-TV. She was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery to remove her gallbladder. Her mother, also named Rene, thinks the spicy snacks had something to do with her health problems.

"She loves them. Every time I go out she says, 'Bring me back some Hot Takis, bring me back some Hot Chips.' I want to make her her happy, so I brought them back. She was eating big bags and would take them to school with her," the mom told WREG-TV.

However, medical experts say gallbladder problems are not caused by eating specific foods. The National Institutes of Health explains, "Being overweight or having obesity may make you more likely to develop gallstones, especially if you are a woman. Researchers have found that people who have obesity may have higher levels of cholesterol in their bile, which can cause gallstones. ... Some studies have shown that people who carry large amounts of fat around their waist may be more likely to develop gallstones."

Dr. Cary Canvender, a gastroenterologist at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, told WREG-TV..."We do see tons of gastritis and ulcer-related stuff due to it. We probably see around 100 kids a month, easily."

I know two people who had their gall bladder removed. They both said that they thought something was wrong when eating anything with a high fat content — junk food, junk snacks (e.g. Cheetos, as here), salad dressing, pizza, cheese — sent them running to a bathroom stall within minutes for an astonishingly thorough re-balancing, shall we say. They both thought it was IBS or bad “restaurant practices” until it started happening at home too.

"Every time I go out she says, 'Bring me back some Hot Takis, bring me back some Hot Chips.'"

Is anybody picturing her groaning that order from anywhere but the couch?
