[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 410892, member: 1233"] For a teen to eat a tub of cookie dough is not unusual. teens are strange eaters. It sounds like there is more going on with her. Lots of this sounds psychological. At one point when Wiz was just out of control he kept getting really sick - vomiting, diarrhea, cramps in his entire digestive system, etc.... At the same time I noticed that ALL of my spices disappeared and the indiv pounds of meat in the freezer did too. I kept pounds of meat in the freezer both cooked and raw so it was easy to grab to cook a meal. I finally went in to clean his room because it smelled really gross, more than just teen boy gross. I found not just packages from cooked ground beef and taco meat hidden, I also found old ziplocs with RAW ground beef int here. He was covering them with tons of spices to try to "cook" them and kill the germs and would eat off of a pound of meat for five to seven DAYS while keeping it hidden in his room!!! No wonder he was so sick - it is a miracle he didn't end up with a serious e coli infection and/or killing himself!! He was also using the spices to make some type of magic spells which for him was a sign of seriously delusional thinking (you cannot create, call, control or kill demons with mixtures of chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and other household spices. But he honestly believed he could. Of course he also beleived that putting these spices on raw meat would cook it and kill the germs. NOTHING worked until we dealt with that thinking but it was an unusual case. In your daughter's situation it seems like she may be binge eating. It may or may not be combined with purging (is she using laxatives or vomiting often?) but it can be a sign of an eating disorder. MANY people with eating disorders are NOT underweight or even at a healthy weight. My bulimic roommate was NOT underweight and my bulimic ex sister in law was very overweight at times evenw hen it was very active. I wowuld ask ehr dad to keep an eye on it and then not keep stuff around that you don't want her to eat if she is at your house. Or keep the stuff in another room behind a locked door when possible.
