Lucas Report post Posted August 15, 2008 Five years ago it was scotch eggs, now I have absolutely no idea why I liked them. I even think they're a bit disgusting, horribly mouth-drying and hard to swallow. Four years ago it was strawberrys, which whilst I still think are nice I seem to pick up the sour taste a lot more now. About once every 15 months this changes. Now eggs have suddenly become as tasty as mythical golden apples. I'm sure I remember after my scotch egg phase faded that eggs were messy, bitter and inconsistent. They now taste and feel NOTHING like that. I wish I knew how to control my sensory rotation totally; I could make the healthiest foods delicious and saturated, salt-infested, sugar-ridden rubbish seem as distusting as it really is. In no time I'd lose weight, improve my skin, sleep patterns and generally feel better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat Report post Posted August 15, 2008 Yep have this times 2 in our house. Both my son will eat the same thing for months because they love it until one day I am asked why I am giving them 'this' to eat again when they hate it and it makes them feel just looking at it. It's the same with drinks to. I have kind of got used to this over the last ten years. Cat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted August 16, 2008 Oh my, I'm addicted to peas in the pod. Every year I wait for this time of year when you can buy them in the shops. When I had enoough room in the garden I grew my own. I love popping them out the pod and guzzling them... especially the really sweet ones... not so much the big fat ones. Yum.

Tally Report post Posted August 16, 2008 I go through phases like that. For a while I ate pancakes every single day for breakfast. I stockpiled Jif lemons to eat on my pancakes, and then went off pancakes. I now have six Jif lemons! I don't generally go off things after I stop eating them though. The reason I don't eat them any more is because I am now in a fried-egg-on-toast phase, and eating the pancake would mean missing out on that. But I would still enjoy a pancake now. Eggs are full of nutrition though. Although they contain fat, they can form part of a healthy diet. I find that planning meals ahead of time helps me to keep to a healthy diet.

ScienceGeek Report post Posted August 16, 2008 I go through phases of eating the same foods all the time. When I was younger I used to have a scrambled egg sandwich every morning for years then suddenly went off that, then cheese on toast for another few years.

Lucas Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Yes it does happen very suddenly. I experience it most with drinks. When I'm thirsty I always get a small drink of water to see how it tastes first before then doing the same test with fruit squash, juice or milk. I have to do this just to make sure I'm not going to cough it back up or breath it into an airway accidently. When I drink, I drink quickly in case the taste and texture changes. I only have this problem with room-temperature drinks, hot or very cold drinks are no problem. I don't dehydrate as much when I remember to keep a tray of ice in the fridge.

Flora Report post Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) how interesting. I've noticed my son does that with drinks Lucas, he will take a couple of sips first, then he'll gulp it back really quickly. Also, while I haven't really thought much about it, I do this with food at times. I can be really enjoying a meal and tucking into it, then suddenly feel like if I eat another mouthfull I'm going to be sick. I don't actually feel nauseaus, just feel like I would choke and throw up. Flora Edited August 18, 2008 by Flora Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asereht Report post Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Lucas said...I drink quickly in case the taste and texture changes. My son drinks very quickly and seems to throw the drink into his mouth from the glass rather than through his lips,either that or he uses a straw. He can drink a whole glass in seconds without seeming to pause for breath! Edited August 18, 2008 by asereht Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zosmum Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Bikemad This sounds just like Z. I thought it was just her putting it on again to be centre of attention. Maybe I'll be a little more understanding at meal times now Zosmum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll be a little more understanding at meal times now Zosmum I used to think it was just ds being awkward cos id not done his 'fav' meal but he has since been diagnosed with sensory avoidance disorder by the occupational therapist and she said that could cause him to be like it.

It would explain Z's funny eating where she will start eating a meal saying how nice it is and then half way through she's had enough, it tastes digusting and she hates it. This happened to me today. Halfway through eating breakfast and started off liking the eggs then halfway through couldn't stand the texture of the yolk and felt sick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
