I know what you mean! I got my onion sensitivity at 29, before I had kids at 31 and 33. We never had onions in any food as they were growing up. As teenagers, they both became interested in cooking, and to them, onions were an exotic vegetable!
When I first began eliminating onions, I used to LOONG for them. When I'd walk down a city street and onion-aroma would waft out of an open cafe door, it would make me heady. Later, I got so sensitive (in a bad way) that just the odor of metabolized onions on someones's breath would upset my stomach.

LOL - my kids are teenagers too and after years of my onion-free cooking, they have also now discovered this 'exotic' vegetable for themselves! You sound a lot like me - I loved onions and ate them right up to my late twenties, too. But as the IBS issues worsened, I realised how senstive I was to them. Like you, if I just smell raw onion, I can literally 'taste' it for hours afterwards. So if anyone wants onions in my family, they cook them, not me!
