Probably metabolism. My son was a bottomless pit at that age and was really thin.
I doubt she has tape worms. My son was the same way. Thin as a rail at that age and ate a lot.
Who is paying for all those bags of chips? SNAP? EBT?
Mom’s an idiot. It’s the carb % of daughter’s diet that is killing her.
MSG hides his neurotoxic self legally under so many words on the ingredient list. Among others, it can be inside the words ‘flavoring,’ ‘natural flavors,’ ‘spice,’ ‘yeast extract,’ etc.
To find chips without msg, you need to stay away from all flavored chips except some of the sour flavors like salt and vinegar or limon. 99.9% of canned or pouched or boxed soups in supermarkets have it. Most chips and crackers contain it.
And like logi said, avoid the chips made with rancid seed oils like canola. Look for avocado or coconut oils.

A few of our sons have issues with MSG such that we hide things like Ramen noodle packages from them. I’m not a big Ramen fan. But some of our children love them and occasionally talk their father into buying them. I am never told of their existence because they are immediately hidden to prohibit certain sons from having them. I seldom allow Takis or other MSG laden chips/snacks into the house.
The other day, our son was at a neighbor’s house. The neighbors were eating lunch at some point, and they asked our son if he wanted some Ramen noodles. He hesitated. They thought he was being polite. The mom assured him that it was ok and that he could have them. He ate them. She texted me at about the time he was done eating. She described his hesitation and thought he was just cute and sweet. Ahhhhhh! I explained his Ramen issues. She did not get to see the Jekyl and Hyde transformation the following day. But we did. He was a fidgety nut, pest, instigator, almost victim of violence from older siblings. We reminded him of why he isn’t allowed Ramen or certain chips or other garbage foods.
One of our older sons was equally bad with MSG. He is at the point in life in which he wants to eat foods that are good for him rather than a bunch of junk. And he isn’t at home any more, so yay! :-)
Eating 4 big bags of those things will cause anybody to have issues. They will know what “fire in the hole” really means!
YES.
Yep...See my #40 post....
You can buy plain ramen noodles, and boil them and put them in homemade broth - freeze chicken bone broth in solo cups. Or you can Asian it up with miso broth, or quick homemade dashi broth with fish flakes and seaweed.
Fire the lawyer, start eating salads.
Problem solved.
Right, just under-intelligent....
Yes. That sounds like work. hahaha. But I think we can probably boil up some chickens and make our own broth. Even the canned broth has MSG in it. :(
Our second son used to eat the Ramen flavor packets. (probably ate the package, too. haha) That is when we started noticing his volatile, emotional behavior. Then we paid attention to all the things he was eating.
>>I’ll bet she washes them down with a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi, too.<<
Yeah, but it’s DIET Pepsi, so it’s OK. ROFL
They need to check her thyroid while they are at it. A faulty thyroid craves red food dye and hot pepper.
Something here about the old joke about the guy who went to the doctor because his unit was turning orange... ?
If the problem was ulcers, yes hot food. Gallbladder, not so much.
It’s really easy to make chicken bone broth. Roast an organic chicken and have a great meal. Take the carcass and bones and throw them into a crockpot with good water (not tap water usually) and a couple splashes of apple cider vinegar, leave it for 12-24 hrs, then add vegetables and cook another 12-24 hrs. Strain into big bowl and cool to room temp, then ladle into solo cups and freeze. Cut the cup and warm, when ready for the broth, adding your salt and whatever spices you want.
I have a son who also loves msg. And he reacts to it too, but still won’t give up his chex mix etc.
