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."

Is that only because she induces vomiting (purges) after she has gorged herself?
Bulimia.
Regards,
I'll bet she washes them down with a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi, too.
I know what it was, she craved hot spicy foods. Instead of junk food like Cheeots she should have ate Indian food would have been better for her.
Man eating steel nails.
> There was serious talk of the ingredients containing something addictive.
That would be the MSG...
And if you think that’s something, try the jalapeno cheddar cheetos - you’ll put the empty bag down and order a container full from Amazon.
(they are el-diablo)
Talks are poison. Horrible substance. Crappy parenting..But blames everyone else
The mother and daughter are not overweight.
Probably the whole story is made up and the mom is coaching the daughter and planting seeds for a lawsuit.
I have read about what the food companies do to formulate addictive food, make people reach the “bliss point”, and crave more. It’s a whole industry, with some companies who do nothing more than develop artificial flavors to accomplish this. It’s scary stuff.
My kids are in their fifties now-—and a couple of them still remember that we only brought potato chips into the house for their birthday parties-—and these were plain chips,nothing flavored.
They all survived without hating me. :-)

$3.00+ per 8 oz bag.
About $6.00 a pound.
Nice chuck for about $6.00 /pound.
It stained my fingers. :(
I've seen that reference several times lately - what IS the story behind Beck and Cheetos??? I seem to have missed it. Thanks.
Uh oh - my sister drinks Slim Fast every morning for breakfast - is there some health risks doing that? I've never heard about that.
In my house we refer to that as TBE, or Total Bowel Evacuation...
Both of which are WIC approved!
OMG - did I really write that? It should be, "ARE" there...
