    i won't eat certain foods because cause of a bad experience. for example i will not eat from mcdonalds ever! the last time that i ate there i v* that night. since then i have not eaten there. i was about 7. i am 28 now. but i mainly avoid certain foods because i know that they can make me sick. things like chicken and meat. i wont eat food that has been sitting out for a while. like tonight, my boyfriends mom made dinner and we got to his house a little late. the food was sitting out for us and i couldn't eat it. i know that it wasn't sitting out for hours, but i still couldn't eat it.

    I won't eat at subway (read about too many food poisoning cases from there) or any sandwhich not prepared by myself pretty much. When I go out to eat (which is rare) I stay away from foods that might have been touched by someone.

    egg salad is when you make hard boiled eggs, and then mash them up and mix them w/ mayo and stuff... and can I tell you about the smell? Yech!

    I've cut way back on mayo but still eat it. Sometimes I substitute mayo for salad dressing.



    When I was younger, before I knew better, I ate so much McDonalds and
    other fast food, it was rediculous. Never had a problem from it
    although when I started out in college I was eating so much I just felt
    unhealthy from it all. Obviously I have cut that out.



    With me, it's kinda funny. If I V* after eating something, I never eat (or drink) it again.( Usually)

    Here's a few examples:

    Scrambled eggs

    Parsley

    DiGorno Frozen Pizza

    Key Lime Pie

    Special K cereal

    Gatorade (I actually did have some since then but I was sick at the time!)



    It's not that I refuse to eat these things or anything, I just don't
    want them. Sometimes I wonder if I got sick after I eat something that
    I really love if I would stop eating that and I hope I never have to
    find out!!



    Recently, over the past couple of weeks I have been avoiding certain
    seafoods. For instance, the menu would say "gulf shrimp flown in fresh
    daily". OK, yeah. There was a devastating hurricane the day before, you
    think they're focusing on proper handling of the shrimp? Same thing
    with that noreaster that hit the NE. Literally, the day after, this
    restaurant had fresh fish flown in from Massachusettes. You're going to
    tell me they went fishing in gail force winds? Get out! It just doesn't
    make sense how they would have the food.



    I tell the server to leave off garnishes that they usually sprinkle on with their dirty hands.



    Lately there's been a lot of talk of problems with ready to eat salads
    in the bag so I haven't eaten that in some time due to some recalls.



    Wow, all this talk of food has made me hungry.

    Im the same way...If I eat something and it makes me V* I will never eat it again!


    But I definately stay away from Tomatoe based foods. I hate spaghetti sauce. Its all red and chunky looking. It reminds me of V*. I hate it! I nly eat pasta with the creamy sauces I also try to stay away from eggs. Yuck.

    i will no longer eat walkers beef and onion crisps because i was sick
    after eating them, i had a sv at the time so no way it was the actual
    crisps that made me ill. I will eat any other flavour or brand of
    crisps but not those exact ones, wierd huh?



    I no longer eat tiramissu after all the stress its caused me this week!



    I will no eat baked beans, i have never actually eaten them but just
    the sight and smell of them makes me gag! the same goes for bananas, i
    cannot be in the same room as a banana, even if it hasnt been peeled it
    makes me gag! im so wierd lol

    i cannot bring myself to eat certain foods and my selection of 'safe'foods is decreasing ever more rapidly at the moment! i am down to bread, potatoes (as long as there whole and not mashed in any way), dry cereal, chips as long as oven baked to my standard and yorkshire puddings. i cannot eat any meat or chicken out of fear of getting food poisoning. i am being referred to a psychaitrist by my doctor who deals with phobia's and eating disorders! i have just found this website and its great because i felt so alone and that people thought i was weird until now.
