I would guess it's a similar principle to how we need to drink water to survive, but attempting to breath underwater will cause us to drown: it's being used for a purpose that our (or in that case, their) bodies cannot process (it's being projected as a force field, or an inedible form that the changelings cannot eat). Makes good enough sense to me
