Everything Tastes Bad

njak13 · April 2014

I am having this issue where everything I crave doesn't taste right and just makes me feel sick. All I have wanted for 4 days is orange juice but every time I taste orange juice it's disgusting. Same with other snacks. The only things that taste great are green apples but they make my stomach hurt afterwards. They are the only thing that is satisfying at all though! I can also eat bananas an they taste normal but I don't really like them anyway. All I have been eating successfully are crackers and green apples. Any ideas?

i definitely have noticed things taste different to me also. i can't exactly pinpoin the taste but many things ive tried to eat are just off somehow. hopefully it'll pass.

Ideas - eat what doesn't taste weird?

I feel this way, too. I have cravings for things, but then when I eat them they taste weird. It doesn't help that I've had cold lately, so my mouth doesn't taste right either, if that makes any sense.

All I want is a deli sandwich or pad thai.

This morning I threw up from smelling chopped kale. This is the thing that made me sick last time, too.

Dumb. Can't wait for second tri.

I have something similar, the AFTER TASTE of food makes me feel sick.

Same thing here; literally nothing tastes good. I have a love affair with food and this is definitely cramping my style. I usually eat when I'm bored, I eat when I'm frustrated, I eat when I'm happy, I eat all. the. time. And I like most everything. Not now! I just had to figure out what worked for me which is "light" food. Yesterday I had sushi, today a tuna fish sandwich and while neither seemed as satisfying as they would usually be it was tolerable. That may not work for you but I hope you find something that does! Can't wait for 2nd tri!

Yeah, I have the same thing happening. Everything tastes and smells weird. My diet isn't varying much these days from whatever I can actually stand to eat.

Like clockwork, starting yesterday, I feel mild nausea all day long. Simply the thought of some foods it starting to make my stomach turn! And foods I perfectly enjoyed until a couple of days ago, no longer taste good, for example, chobani yogurt, which i eat every day. I could barely stomach it yesterday...

2ndGeneration · April 2014

Oh no, not the yogurt! I've been eating one chobani every day in my lunch-I don't want to lose that lol

Hopefully not for you

I will wish you the fortune of enjoying yogurt. Now i gotta find other ways to replace the calcium and all other good things yogurt does!

I am also having a terrible time finding anything that tastes good or normal. Between the smell and the nausea there is nothing I want to eat but of course I feel better with food on my stomach. Hoping it passes when the first trimester is over. 14 weeks was my golden point last time.

Having the same problem nothing I want tastes good. The smell of cooked food makes me sick. What's worked for me is Bagles w/ little cream cheese, strawberries & other berries. Maybe try a high protein meal replacement bar and see how that works.
