food triggers
Eating-related provocations
Food triggers are specific foods, ingredients, or eating situations that provoke unwanted physical or psychological responses.
In medical contexts, triggers may set off migraines, allergic reactions, or digestive symptoms: Chocolate and red wine are common migraine triggers.
In discussions of disordered eating, food triggers prompt bingeing, purging, or emotional distress: She avoids the break room because office snacks are a food trigger for her.
