What is the meaning of "Hemah ki'Dvei Lachmi"?

1.

Rashi citing R. Meshulam: Now I touch them, like the cloth on which my bread rests. Devei is like "va'Yichros Es Madveihem."

2.

Rashi #1: They are like cloths used to strain a Tavshil; liquid flows from them. Devei is an expression of "Davah" - flowing. All food is called Lechem - "Avad Lechem Rav", "Nashchisah Etz b'Lachmo" - Yonason translates, there is poison in the food.

3.

Rashi #2: I became used to looking at them, when I look at my food.

4.

Malbim: Food is now more repulsive to me than the things that I used to loathe most. Therefore, I have no chance of recovering!
