What food have you gone off due to PM/M ?

I have totally gone off mushrooms! Used to love them until about 3 months ago and now I cannot bear to eat them. The texture wants to make me heave! I’m putting this down to another delightful side effect of being peri menopausal.

Have you gone off any food or drink for the same reason?

Chocolate. Most sweet things actually. Just can't enjoy it any more, not even super expensive stuff. Meh!

haba I really wish I could go off chocolate! I have terrible sugar cravings which I am desperately trying to curb thanks to the recent weight gain - bloody hormones!!

I'm just addicted to crisps now! Grin
I have to not buy them, or I eat them all...

No, nothing at all. Tolerance for alcohol reduced but that's no bad thing.

Interesting question. For me it's been exactly the opposite - I enjoy more foods and flavours than I did before menopause. I've always liked food Grin

I don't really like sweets any more. I still like sweet foods, but not actual sweets. And I won't touch squash because of the taste of artificial sweetener, which I'm not sure I noticed before.

Nothing, unfortunately. I still want to eat AAAAALL of the food!

Interesting how hormones affect people differently!

I don’t think I’m doing too bad then if mushrooms are the only things to fall by the wayside. Although I felt rotten after two small glasses of red recently... must have been a dirty wine glass 😬😂
