Not a research thing, I promise.
I made a theory about 15 years ago, that a child is more likely to be allergic to/have intolerances to/hate foods that their mother craved when pregnant.
I made the theory after talking to a few of my sister's friends who couldn't eat certain things, and they were things their mum had cravings for when pregnant.
I hadn't thought about this random theory for years until I jsut read a friends comments on her own pregnancy.
She craved curry and baked beans when she was pregnant, and her son (who is now 9) is the only boy in the whole world who hates baked beans. (he won't even try them)
So, my question is:
Do your own children have food problems with anything that you craved?
(or did you?)
thanks. :)

Allergies and intolerances
Are allergies/intolerances/food hatreds linked to pregnancy cravings?
