i can’t stand the smell of any food whatsoever, even my safe foods, and i don’t know how to deal with it

it makes me gag. if i actually have food already in my stomach the likelihood of me throwing it up is high because the smell of any food will make me physically sick. i literally recoil at any food smells and it’s making life so difficult atm.

for example, my FIL is constantly slow-cooking something or other and i literally can’t be downstairs when he is otherwise i’ll start gagging and get overwhelmed by the smell

i have only a few safe meals i eat a week. sometimes i don’t mind the smell too much and can get by okay but more often than not i gag at the smell of foods whether i like them or not.

it’s also not just food i have issues with. any air fresheners, aftershave, cleaning products or, more specifically, the dog. any of these kinds of smells will make me gag or like it physically hurts my nose and stomach when i smell them

has anyone else dealt with this? could i have some advice on how to manage this please? should i just buy nose plugs?
