trigger foods
Foods prompting symptoms
Trigger foods are specific foods that provoke unwanted responses in a person—whether overeating, binge episodes, cravings, or physical symptoms like migraines or digestive distress.
The term appears in both eating disorder recovery and dietary management contexts: Ice cream is one of my trigger foods, so I don't keep it in the house.
