Cheese!

Stimpson

Odd one but wondered if this was something anyone else shared. Cheese gives me anxiety! And I love cheese!

When the cheese and biscuits come out I feel anxiety over it. I’m pretty sure now that it might be a smell sensitivity with Stilton and I really like Stilton - but for some reason I start feeling anxiety and it knocks my stomach/makes me feel awkward.
doesn’t happen when I just grab some cheese for lunch! 

just thought I’d share!!!

  • I like cheese, but I don't think it has ever caused me anxiety. I've heard it said that eating cheese before bed can trigger nightmares, but I think that is possibly an old wives tale.

    The smell of blue cheese is one that I find revolting. I tried it once, and found the taste to be equally as revolting.

    My dad used to like the taste of raw tomatoes, but they disagreed with him and would cause him to feel sick. It could be that you're experiencing a similar thing with Stilton, or cheese in general.

    Any blue cheese!  There are a couple other foods that do the same but I can’t pinpoint them right now. Mulled wine does the same. Even thinking about it causes it !!

  • I'd love to be able to eat cheese again, I've beomen lactose intolerant and if I eat it the results aren't good, not good at all.

    I think blue cheese is an aquired taste and one that some people never aquire, is it just stilton or do other blue cheeses affect you in the same way?
