food aversion
Dietary disgust response
Food aversion is a strong dislike or avoidance of a particular food, often triggered by a negative experience like nausea or illness after eating it.
The aversion can form quickly and persist for years, even when the person knows the food didn't cause the sickness: She developed a food aversion to shrimp after getting food poisoning.
Pregnant women commonly experience food aversions.
