A member asked:

What would cause that on occasion that the smell of bread, rusk, pizze etc would make you vomit? sometimes even a wrapped bread would send me running. not pregnant. symptoms last min to weeks and days to a year can pass before it reacurs

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vagus nerve: Apparently these odors stimulate the vagus nerve resulting in reflex nausea and vomiting. This reaction can be blocked by taking atropine type medications or anticholinergics. Some people with this hyperreaction to odors get help by taking peppermint oil tablets(not the liquid).
