Default Strange reactions to popular foods

I have two, one I just found out about.

Jello, in any form, makes me immediately gag. If I don't try hard enough to keep it back, I throw up within 10 seconds of the Jello getting past my teeth. Jello shots are hard, but if they're the only thing available I can throw them back without them breaking down. Its the "breaking down" that's actually the trigger, where the big Jello piece breaks down into smaller Jello pieces without actually processing.

I'm on a strict diet, pretty straight up about no sugar. My GF packed a day's worth of meals and one of them was cottage cheese and strawberries and a Tbsp of Splenda, and for some reason it all made me very queasy and generally just tasted gross, but it was all I had so I shoved it back. Tonight we had a crab dish that also used Splenda. Turns out that [censored] makes me sick.

Wierd, I really have no idea where it comes from, and I have a pretty strong stomache. Anything for you?
