    I must have the opposite of what you have, unless it’s gone very off I have eaten a bit too much bad food but never gotten sick from it.

    Moldy bread, fruits in a container with a rotting fruit or two, bad yogurt. Yet my stomach held strong and made nary a sound

      Same here, iron stomach when it comes to questionable food. I have never had food poisoning, and I generally double most “how long will this last?” advice.

      Cooked Beans? 2 weeks in the fridge is fine! are they slimey? Well is it good slime or bad slime because maybe the natto I was storing next to it inoculated it. Oh it’s disgustingly sour? Curry powder and a long hot cook in the microwave can fix that!

      My food aversion seems to be so random. I fucking love bananas, I eat bananas every day, then one day, I’ll be halfway through a perfectly good banana and my body will just go “nope” and the texture, taste and smell of the banana makes me dry heave. I won’t even be able to look at the banana, and it will last a few days. The worst part being that I’m still craving the idea of eating a banana!!!

        Wow I’m exactly the same, how ??! I eat pretty much everything but, some things like banana I randomly crave or they disgust me for absolutely no reason depending on the day. I didn’t know it may be linked to my ADHD.

          I’m not sure if mine is ADHD related or autism. I am being treated for ADHD (despite my formal diagnosis being “N24-CRD induced dopamine dysregulation”), but my brother and father are autistic and I’m keen to be reassessed as an adult.

          I was assessed when I was 14, just after my brother was diagnosed, and they told me I had learned a lot of autistic behaviours from growing up in a household of autistic people, and I’ll grow out of it…but I’m in my 30s now and I definitely didn’t grow out of any of it, if anything it’s gotten worse when I lost the routine of school and in-office work.

          Which makes me think I might have some autistic traits that may or may not meet the criteria for diagnosis.

          Both ADHD and ASD have sensory processing issues that can lead to texture aversion, and both conditions increase people’s risk for ARFID and similar patterns of disordered eating.
