I bought a box of oatmeal at the grocery store thinking it sounded good this weekend. I cooked it this morning and took my first bite...UGH!!!! It brought back lots of awful memories of forcing down oatmeal trying to up my supply while nursing.
What foods can you no longer eat after pregnancy or nursing?

Avocado. I had GD and needed healthy fats, plus it really boosted my supply at the end of my pumping days, so I ate it EVERY DAY. I can barely look at an avocado these days.

I don't like raw onion as much as I did before I had a baby. I hated it in pregnancy and I still never went back to liking it. So strange cause I was totally into it before.

No aversions, but I have the opposite issue. I used to hate sweet tea before becoming pregnant, but post-pregnancy, oh man. I couldn't get enough of it. So weird!!

@babypugs: Fish, specifically salmon. I have no idea why - used to like it before pregnancy!

@avivoca: So sad! I would be mad if pregnancy ruined avocado for me!
@psw27: I'm impressed you could ever eat raw onion. 
@Alivoo01: Weird! Maybe your body craves that sugary yumminess to give you energy for your kid.
@wrkbrk: That's another thing I don't eat anymore either!

Tamari almonds. We bought them in big bags from Costco and they were the only thing (other than white carbs) that got me through morning sickness with K. It's been 3 years and I still can't eat them!

I didn't care for onions before but now the smell basically gives me PTSD flashbacks from having hyperemesis.

Ginger flavored or sour hard candies. They remind me of first tri nausea.

@babypugs: oatmeal as well! I ate it daily from 35 weeks (to keep regular) then for six weeks after birth to try to up my supply.

I used to love Indian good. Could. Not. Stand it. During my first pregnancy. After that I like it fine but it's not my favorite still. Yet I could still eat it ok during my second pregnancy.
I think that's it really.

the only thing I developed an aversion to during pregnancy was avocado. Which was a terrible shame imo because I really wanted to love it and eat it. Prior to getting pregnant I literally ate avo toast every morning for breakfast. Now 10 months post partum I finally looked at an avocado and said "let's do this"
And it was amazing.

I had an adverse reaction to a noodle food truck. They have like 8 tricks and every time I see one I feel woozy...

Maple curry pasta. Just typing the words makes me want to be sick.
It used to be one of my favourites !

French onion soup. I was craving it and made a huge pot and then couldn't stop throwing up. Bleh.

Morning sickness ruined banana smoothies, devilled sausages, nachoes, subway (even the smell of a subway store makes me want to throw up)and ginger ale. I can't eat any of these any more.

@Charm54: Maple curry pasta?! I am having an aversion and have never heard of it! That's a thing?

@avivoca: Oh yes, the GD friendly foods! I'm so sick of everything I can eat right now. I cant even look at chicken! Honestly, Id rather not eat at all!

Eggs. I have had a really hard time with eggs ever since my first pregnancy, which was over 5 years ago!

@lamariniere: Me too. It's the residual smell after cooking and even a regular wash of the plates/bowls that gets me. I have to scrub anything with egg on it pretty much immediately after cooking/eating it and then it goes into the dishwasher, sometimes followed by a vinegar rinse. That lingering egg smell was something I never noticed before, but oh man, it's sickening.

Ginger. I tried to use ginger drops and ginger tea during the first tri and they did not help at all. I had to hide them because just looking at them would make me gag. I accidentally ate a gingerbread cookie during Christmas time and it was awful. I get grossed out just thinking about it!
