Hatred of Cheese

Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone.

I know many of us have trouble with certain stronger foods due to sensory issues... mine manifests most strongly as a strong revulsion to Cheese. I also struggle a bit with really strong cream dressings (for example, if I have a Caesar salad with really strong dressing). Even if I enjoy the flavour itself, I begin to feel very overwhelmed by the strong sensations and my gag reflex will often kick in.

Just wondering what kind of food sensitivities other people have?

I don't have that type of sensitivity, but eating a lot of cheese gives me a migraine.

As for other sensitivities, I hate it when there is spice in my food as it wrecks it for me. I don't know how people can enjoy having a burning sensation in their mouths while eating.. all it does is makes me feel congested while at the same time crying a little and having a runny nose. Even mild spice irritates my mouth, so I just avoid it. I doubt this is an actual sensory issue though, because what I've read basically tells me that for taste sensitivity you need intense irritation to the point that you are gagging/vomiting.

I don't really eat a great variety of foods. In my mind I want to, but I never have as I change my mind when I get around to it, or simply just don't like something nearly as much as what I normally eat.

sasperilla nauseates me. raw oysters and any kind of snails also unappetizing.

I can't eat squash and yam easily. It hurts my stomach. Milk makes me gag but it doesn't hurt my stomach.

I like to eat cheese if it has a mild scent (but only on a pizza or sometimes with pasta). The smell of mozzarella or a similar cheese is fine to me. Parmesan usually tastes good but the smell is nasty. Cheddar can go either way. I don't get too adventurous in the way of cheeses. If the smell is really bad I can't eat it.

I don't eat sandwiches or hamburgers, but seeing one with a slice of cheese on it makes it twice as unappealing to me. I also don't understand putting cheese on a breakfast biscuit. Yuck! Or cheese with eggs?? To me those textures just don't go together. Very, very rarely I like to eat the cheese that comes in one of those gift sets with crackers, it just has to have a very mild scent. But the texture of unmelted cheese tends to make me gag.

MMmmmmm cheese. I love cheese, stinky cheese, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, soft cheese, parmesan.

Anything with multiple textures and tastes. So I don't really do burgers (5 different flavors and 5 different textures = nty) salads, tacos, and I typically don't try new foods. It's kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.

To this day I still can't stand eating most cheeses in an unmelted state, though I really enjoy grated parmesan, and when they are melted cheddar and mozzarella are fantastic.

I like goats cheese. I also like goats milk.

I like my food quite plain usually so don't eat anything that is too spicy. The fact that I will eat a baked potato with nothing on it (not even butter) used to upset everybody.

Oh as a child I couldn't stand butter on my sandwiches and I still rarely eat sandwiches with spread or butter on to this day except for ham salad, I do like butter on a ham salad sandwich. I also like butter on crackers or on toast or on a slice of french baguette...just not on sandwiches or sliced bread or baked potato. The combination used to make me queasy.

I also hated the texture of mashed potato and blamange (sp?). The latter is not jelly and its not mousse, its an abomination.

I used to hate strong cheese, especially Swiss cheese, and would definitely gag on it.
But somewhere along the line I kinda forced myself (for reasons unknown) to like stronger tasting foods.
Now I love Swiss cheese and sharp cheddar. Green olives is another one of those.

I remember adults trying to force me to eat certain things in hopes I would "get over it".
Eventually they gave up on that approach. As usual, I'm the one who had to teach/train myself along those lines.

I love cheese, but I do have a problem with other smelly food so I can't eat egg (I'm find when it's mixed into things so it must be smell) and shell fish without gagging. Not great with some textures either.
