A member asked:

Could it be healthy to have food aversions (fish) during a period?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

No unhealthy: Either. Food aversions are something that we don't understand incredibly well, just like food compulsions. But it's unlikely to be unhealthy if it's only fish and just during your period. This may just be something unique to you and the respective hormone changes that occur during your menstrual cycle.
