Are Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Other Spicy Snacks Safe to Eat? - People
On Tuesday, rapper Lil Xan revealed that he had to go to the hospital for stomach problems due to, he alleges, the spicy snack Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
“Yeah, I went to the hospital today. … I just want to let everyone know I was in the hospital not due to any drugs, but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos, and it ripped something in my stomach open,” he said on Instagram.
His account isn’t unfamiliar to doctors, who say that they’ve seen kids come in complaining of stomach pains and constipation. Dr. Jaime Friedman, a pediatrician with Children’s Primary Care Medical Group in San Diego, tells PEOPLE that she frequently saw such patients when she worked in the ER.
