It wasn't touching the lembas that made Gollum uncomfortable... it didn't even burn him. He didn't like the way it smelled and it choked him to eat it. He couldn't eat it because the Elves made it. I'm paraphrasing for a quote at the very beginning of "The Passage of the Marshes". It's somewhat longish, but it is the part just before the second break in the text.
