Sudden Aversion to Meat? Not Pregnant.

[ginger]

This is kind of random, but ever since I had a stomach virus a couple of weeks ago, I feel sick at my stomach when I think about or try to cook most meat.

Don't worry. Fully cooked bacon from a restaurant still sounds delicious, but there's no way in hell I'll be making any myself anytime soon.

I browned some sweet Italian sausage for pasta sauce last night, and I had to keep walking away because I felt so grossed out.

I've always been weird about meat, but this is just getting crazy.

I seriously thought I was possibly pregnant because the thoughts/aversions are so strong. I POAS this morning and it was negative.

Has something like this ever happened to you?

Seems so weird.

Maybe your body is tired of being a tomb for animal flesh and is in open revolt.

Where are you in your cycle? I have different symptoms now than I did in my twenties.

[mnp555]

If it's not your cycle, could it be from vomming meat? I had something super gross happen to me 2 years ago w the smell of cooking onions and I am still disgusted by the smell- like cooked onions, eat them, but have to remove myself when they are being cooked because the smell is so, so gross now.

As I get older, I'm having more and more of an aversion to meat. It just grosses me out for some reason. This doesn't apply to fish/shellfish- mainly things like turkey, ham, sausage, chicken. And if I get a chewy part FORGET ABOUT IT, I'm done.

Hormones? I'm not a fan of red meat anymore and I'm certainly not interested in becoming a vegetarian so it has to be getting older/hormone related....?

For me my aversion to meat has gotten stronger as I've aged.

Me too! This is weird! Is it a hormonal thing maybe? Interesting.

Yesssssss. Ugh. Don't let it be on a bone or fatty either.

I got a stomach virus and had been loving this blueberry goat cheese in the 2 months or so leading up to getting sick. Now I can't even think about it without associating it with feeling sick. Mentally I know it's still delicious but my body has this instant aversion.
That shit is good, too. :-(

I ate chicken wings when I was sick like 12 years ago and I can't bring myself to eat them ever again.
Did you eat meat while you were sick?

[ginger]

Whoa. I'm so glad I posted. This is really interesting.

I've always been weird about it. My husband always eats my "rejects" because I cut off about 40% of whatever meat I'm eating because I just can't.

I have PMDD, so I take birth control pills continually (no placebos) for most of the year. I do say I have Phantom PMS though.

I'll probably never give up bacon though.
Mmmmm. Bacon.

The older I get, the less I want meat. It's weird.

[Leeham Rimes]

also I have always hated steak. And lobster.

I'd make a terrible rich person.

I also hate ribs and the majority of pork.

This happened to me once but it was square frozen pizza. Still can't eat it.
OP, I would poas again in a few days just to be double sure. With my first pregnancy I had an aversion to meat before I had a positive pregnancy test. I realize that if you are pregnant enough to have symptoms you are pregnant enough for a positive test but all the same it happened.

I still can't eat the strawberry shortcake ice cream popsicle things I ate just before coming down with a stomach virus in elementary school. *shudders*

[lilafowler]

I fucking love meat.
