I’m not even sure if this is a symptom… I mean, if you end up with food aversions during pregnancy, then why couldn’t it happen during perimenopause?

I can’t eat chicken anymore. It smells awful and rotten, and if I eat it I can feel it in my stomach all day. It doesn’t make me sick but it makes me queasy.

Thoughts?


OCD and mental pathologies are often triggered by hormonal changes. Good place for you to start.


Did The Change make you a nasty snatch or has it been that way since toddlerhood?

Many women deal with food aversions, nausea, and worse in pregnancy because of the hormonal shifts. Of course this can be associated with getting to menopause.


You repeated what PP said, then added insults? What's your agenda?


I corrected her, and added appropriate insults against her. Learn to read. For that poster: if you keep coming here to tell women that their hormonal changes are “just age and they happen to men too,” maybe anticipate a response.

This is interesting. I am 51 and over the past 5 years have developed a number of food aversions; however, I think GI health incidences (like things with my colon for which I have been hospitalized) are directly responsible more so than hormonal shifts.

It makes me a really fun date for my husband and it’s even more fun to come up with dinner ideas for the fam all week when many things make me ugh.

Covid spike proteins affected the brains of millions and altered sense of smell in many permanently.

I pretty much hate the smell of food cooking, period at this point. No matter what it is. It's weird. I have an apple pie cooling on the counter right now ... and I do NOT love the smell of it. HRT did not fix this.

I literally came to this forum for this exact topic!

I absolutely cannot eat shrimp anymore. Suddenly I have just gotten the 'ick' and I am repulsed. It's very specific and randome.

Nowadays the look and smell of meat disgusts me. I especially hate how the smell lingers in the air after being cooked. And I am confused when restaurants use close-up shots of meat in their advertisements. Is it supposed to be appetizing?

I’m vegetarian 99% of the time but DH is a carnivore. I used to love a good steak or a juicy burger, but not anymore. Not sure if this is a symptom of perimenopause, though!
