@ darlzwik –
I noticed that too, and it made me ‘lol’. “I kind of feel like I’m making people sick!”

But, its one of those things… how vocabulary morphs.. Soon very few people will know the difference, and eventually, they will become synonyms. (for example, people look at you funny if you use ‘sultry’ to describe weather. Or, how ‘decadent’ doesn’t mean ‘indulgent’, but ‘decayed’ or ‘immoral’, which is an odd way to advertise food, IMHO).

Isn’t it strange most cases of bizarre eating disorders are from women living in the UK ? It’s like that 17 year old girl from Kent who can only eat TicTacs.

She complained of feeling nauseous. Nauseous means she makes other people feel sick. I think she meant the food made her feel nauseated; the words are not synonyms.

This must make eating a very exciting activity for her indeed – literally taking her life in her hands (or mouth) every time she eats!

The article fails to explain why those specific foods set it off… although i suppose perhaps no one knows. Sometimes if feel lightheaded after drinking soda if i swallow it too fast, but i don’t think that’s the same thing.

Does she get the same thing when she’s just eating bread? What type of sandwiches set it off? There will need to be much sandwich experimenting done here.
