Document Summary

I have experienced food aversion with more than one food unfortunately; it occurred on different occasions but nonetheless, both times it heavily affected my ability to eat those foods again. Those two foods were white soda (7-up to be exact) and doritos. When i was younger my mother would always give me 7-up soda whenever my stomach was upset and told me it would help flush out my system. This method was good whenever i felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but it affected me because i was never able to drink any kind of white soda ever again, because it made me feel sick. Similarly, i cannot eat doritos (the nacho cheese flavor) anymore because they too make me sick to my stomach. These chips used to be my go-to snack until one night i ate an unhealthy amount with my brother and ended up extremely ill.
