  • my brother made me a salmon sandwich when I was 5 years old without taking the bones out of it first and I choked pretty bad.....I haven't been able to eat any kind of fish ever since. I like seafood though I can eat lobster, clams, crab, shrimp etc. I always say if it crawls along the bottom I can eat it, but if it swims its off limit. lol
  • Oh, and wasabi. Threw that **** up once.
  • When I was little, every time I was sick my mother would force feed me garlic. Since then the smallest hint would make me gag. Just recently as an adult have I begun introducing into my foods...but never large amounts.

    I threw up chunky tomato soup once when I was a teenager. It wasn't chunky when I ate it. Haven't had any since then.

    Mountain Dew and cherries with the stem. I've choked on both before.

    Krispy Kreme glazed, the glaze somehow covered something in my throat where I could exhale but could not inhale. It was like a glaze bubble. Scared the crap out of my son because he heard he trying so hard to breathe.

    I walked downstairs as a kid one time to the giant whiff of my mom boiling eggs.

    Right after, I got a stomach flu that lasted for almost a week.

    Could not tolerate the smell of boiled eggs for years. :sick:

    I DESPISE mayonnaise because when I was 4, I ate a sandwich with spoiled mayo on it and got terribly, horribly sick. We were visiting my grandma down south and I took a nap. While I was sleeping everyone else ate...and then left the sandwiches out. In the hot, hot weather. By the time I got up many hours later, the mayo was DONE. I took one bite, told my ma it tasted funny. She said it's ok, just eat it. I took another bite, then threw the sandwich away. 5 minutes later, I was yakking all over the place. I have never been so sick in my entire life, not even during pregnancy.

    Bleh.

    I have tried mayo since, still don't like it, still makes me a bit queasy to even look at it. :sick:
  • Grits- I just ate too much once as a kid; Now polenta gets to me because of it.
    Chili- morning sickness
    Bananas- morning sickness + had to make banana oat muffins everyday at work for 3 months
    Peanut butter- morning sickness
    Hawaiian Punch- it was the only thing in the house to mix with the vodka I was pregaming with. I puked in a cul de sac on the way to the party. Ahh the days of underage drinking

    Had black forest cake, and about a day later got a stomach flu that lasted forever. I still don't eat black forest cake.

    Laugh it up but once I was eating pringles, I was probably between 13 and 16, not exactly sure, but someone made me laugh and a shard of chip got lodged into my sinuses, and took a lot of effort and pain to remove. I still have vivid memories of it every time I see a pringles can. I am not a huge chip person, but I don't think I have touched pringles since then.

    Isn't that weird how food seems to become chunkier somehow in your stomach? I had food poisoning from Taco Bell a year ago, and I was puking up huge chunks of tortilla! I KNEW I chewed it before I swallowed it, but it was like they had glued themselves back together after spending a few hours in my stomach. I actually thought I was going to choke to death from throwing up. I live alone, so it was particularly frightening. I ended up driving myself to the emergency room at 5 am after 5 hours of hell.

    Taco Bell...never again. Fool me once (food poisoning from a beef burrito when I was 14 which led to me becoming vegetarian) shame on you, fool me twice (see above), shame on ME. *shudders*

    lettuce that looks like it was the salad from my elementary school.

    I wanted seconds one time when I was in 3rd grade and didn't want to eat my salad. I stuffed the salad in my milk carton and my principle caught me. She made me drink the milk lettuce combo and I threw it up. I still hate the way that particular salad looks...

    That sounds like a horrible salad.
    My best friend used to stuff her salad in her bra when her mother wasn't looking. It was the absolute worst thing you could ever ask her to eat.

    I don't eat fruity pebbles because when I was 15, I puked them up and it was gross. I only remember this because 1, I never puke, and 2, it was the day I got my nose pierced lol
  • Boiled hot dogs. After getting sick on one, even the smell of a hot dog being boiled or microwaved makes me sick to my stomach. Funny thing is, if they are fried or grilled they don't bother me ....

    Oatmeal.

    One time I either had a 24hr virus or I was really dehydrated because I was vomiting for a day. I would make my oatmeal super thick and this day I threw it up. But because it was so thick it come up soooo slowly. So, I was basically gagging and could feel it climbing slowly up my esophagus. It settled in my throat for a couple minutes while I was gagging and then finally came up. It looked the same way it went down.

    Goodbye Oatmeal.

    LIVER! Made me gag as a child, so I tried it years later as an adult and the taste still makes me gag.

    Then I started thinking about what the liver does - clean toxins from the body - and wondered why the heck anyone would eat it on purpose!
