To ask what food you once loves is now totally ruined for you and why?

[SylviaPlath1984]

I loved a good roast dinner, nothing could beat it... until morning sickness meant I threw one up over Christmas and now I can't so much as look at one!

What's your once beloved food that now makes you want to heave?

Tea. Was very sick after drinking it 30 years ago, and stopped drinking it for years. now all I can taste is tannins and it's disgusting!

Fish and chips. The last portion I had, they had obviously just changed the fat because they tasted very strongly of beef fat. Absolutely gave me the boak - fish and beef do not go well together.

Cider - no way can I drink that. Used to love it, can't even stand the smell. Turns my stomach

Sadly for me gin and wine 😭😭😭 Used to love a glass or two until I went onto medication and even a sip made me sick. I've been off that medication for 10 months now but still can't touch it. Love the smell of red wine and am so tempted but even a sip makes me feel sick. Why couldn't it have been chocolate?!!!

Broccoli.

I read a twitter thread by a guy who found caterpillars in his Tesco broccoli...he put them in a tank and fed them and released them as butterflies!

This didn't put me off - but I told dh about it who was mildly grossed out and vowed to more thoroughly check raw broccoli in future.

About 3 weeks later he was plating up a roast and called me to the kitchen. He'd forgotten to check the raw broccoli thoroughly so poked into a couple of cooked pieces instead... and there were two unmistakable fairly large and very cooked caterpillars in one piece.

They were so well blended in they were almost indistinguishable and wouldn't have been noticed had dh not actively looked for them.

Apparently its really common and most people just eat them without noticing 🤢

Haven't been able to look at broccoli since.

Fish such as cod because it apparently has a parasite in which are safe to eat when cooked but seeing photos and videos of them has put me right off...🤢

Weetabix- when DD2 was weaning I put heated up some warm milk to mash it up. Imagine my surprise when the weetabix mashed away to reveal an absolutely huge black dead spider in the middle of the biscuit. Put me right off.
Also curry- had a takeaway a couple of months ago and was violently sick the next day. Haven't been able to think about having one since!

Anything with cream. I used to love cream cakes, scones but around my mid 30s I finally worked out that cream / lactose rich things were the things that make me feel sick/give me headaches /make me tired and now I can't stomach it. I was always a sickly child and wonder if actually that was behind a lot of it. I still eat cheese, just not too much, but can only have milk if heated in coffee.

Shortbread biscuits. When I was very young I once baked and ate a load at a friend's house, then threw it all up when I got home. Can't stomach them or any kind of buttery biscuit to this day and I'm 35!

Pickled onions, use to love them as a kid but one of my mums friends kept going in and on about me turning into one. I had a nightmare one night and not been able to eat them since 🤢

Southern Comfort.Not touched it for 20 years 🤮

Any type of meat. It gets stuck in my gastric band and causes horrific pain no matter how much I chew it.
So I am a forced vegetarian now.

Chocolate - I break out in spots whenever I eat it. My diet atm is very set as I’m in weight loss and the 3 times I’ve eaten chocolate I’ve broken out in spots all over face and chest.

Yoghurt - OK I can eat it fine but only a spoonful since having gallbladder out. It’s one of only a few things I can’t eat since the op. Weird as hell and the plain Greek is great for protein it just makes me hurt like I still have a gallstone.

Cheese - as above.

Bananas - all I ate when pregnant. Texture makes me gag.

Lettuce and halloumi and other squeaky foods. Squeaky food. Eugh

Cheesey sauce dishes like Mac and cheese - mother, terrible cook, abusive, force fed us if we refused to eat her packet cheese sauces and make us eat it for breakfast if necessary.

Pickled beets, bourbons and custard creams - because mother would happily sit and devour entire packs of them and they were her favourite foods. She got to enjoy what she loved to eat and gorge on it whilst I had the above and rarely felt full (reason for my weight issues)

Cheap sausages. I discovered them as a student. The contents don't bother me at all, but as I soon realised high welfare and cheap low meat content sausages don't go hand in hand, I vowed I'd never touch them again. I'm from a rural background and know plenty of people and places to get ethical meat from, several of whom are willing to accommodate requests. But nobody as yet has managed to replicate the taste of cheap sausages.

Tuna, of any variety. When dsd was little she had a d&v bug and tuna steak happened to be the last thing she ate, she was sat on the toilet and projectile vomited over me, with the tuna still recognisable by smell and appearance.

Carbonara and lasagne, as they were the last things I ate before being sick with a stomach bug 2 separate times!

Hmm, good question.
When I was recovering from Covid, I lived on Heinz tomato soup, despite not really being a big fan of it before. It amazed me that my body just knew what it wanted!
Anyway, now that I'm 100% better, I probably wouldn't rush back to it ...
A great tonic at the time though.

30 years for me 🤢. What a night .

Biryani. I had one the evening I came down with appendicitis and was violently sick all night. I can’t so much as look at one now.

Rice pudding. Used to love it and my Nan makes a delicious slow cooker one with loads of vanilla. Got a bit excited once and had too much and was sick. Never been able to eat it since. She makes it for dc now and just giving it to them makes me nauseous.

Me too. Freshers week at uni I was so violently sick on it I haven’t touched it since. That was 1998!

Oh jeez I shouldn't have read this thread, broccoli is a staple in our household and don't think I'll ever be able to eat fish and chips again

@BizzyBone @BrownEyedGirl80 @HemanOrSheRa yup SC, first night at a festival, ended up peeping my head out the flap and chundering just outside my tent. Can't even look at the bottle without feeling whoozey.

Bourbon Biscuits! I OD'd on a triple pack years ago, was sick as a dog and have never been able to look at one since 🙈

I wish my Southern Comfort experience was so exciting nesski .

Scrambled egg. When I was about 8 my mum did me scrambled egg on toast for breakfast. A few hours later I had the squits and didn't make it to the toilet in time and shit myself.

I absolutely love eggs in any other form but can't bring my self to eat them scrambled.
