Hi all!
I recently had a stomach bug and it wasn’t fun. Lots of throwing up, nausea, etc. It’s passed by now, but I still have this specific food aversion that I’m trying to get rid off.
My mom sends these vegan spreads to me from overseas and I love them! I’m not vegan, but they are easy to send and so good. They come in different flavors and you can spread them on bread or use as dip. There’s Indian curry, apple and leeks, red beets…. I used to be obsessed, getting excited to dig them out and see which one I’d open. They come in cute little glass jars too!
Anyway, the last thing I ate before my stomach bug hit was one of the spreads. It was apple leek to be precise and even writing about it makes me feel slightly unwell. It’s been a good two weeks now that I’m healthy again, but as soon as I see the jars in my pantry I just want to throw up again. When does this food aversion pass you think? Should I just force one down to show my body it’s fine? Does it go away on its own or have I ruined these for me now? I’m actually sad about this, because I liked them so much.
This isn’t anything earth shattering but maybe someone can help and has experience!
