I was one that seemed to have a bad reaction to anything. The worst part was I developed what I'll call a gag reflex towards the latter stages and anything I put in my mouth made me gag which usually led to tossing my cookies. The only way I could stop it was to swallow whatever it was that I needed to and the stand over the sink and close my eyes and hold my mouth shut until the urge went away. That did work quite often.
