Bob's right - there's very little caffeine in cocoa. Here's something Linz pointed out a while back: "The caffeine in cocoa is carried in the fat so cocoa powder has very little caffeine in it that can get into your bloodstream. This is why we use cocoa powder and NOT bitter chocolate (fat therefore caffeine)." Caffeine in Cocoa Powder I also read that for people who tend to get migraines, it's mainly a chemical called phenylethylamine, not caffeine, in chocolate that triggers headaches. Like Bob said, it's the fat content in certain chocolate products that triggers IBS symptoms.

Although I think it's important to be aware of what we're consuming, I agree that that it's definitely not healthy to obsess over every little thing we eat. Thanks, Michelle, for the reality check!

I find that flat diet Gingerale eases a lot of my medication induced nausea. If I drank it with carbonation, the gas alone would probably trigger a D attack, or at least intense (& unnecessary) discomfort. Kate, IBS-D. Kate, IBS-D.

Usually it's something preventable too. My husband gets migraines, the bad kind with the aura and puking, and caffeine is not a trigger for him. In fact, it can help.

I don't get the auras or throwing up, but my migraines are incapacitating and can last weeks even months at a time. Caffeine definitely help mine too, but in my case I think it's b/c my body is used to so much to begin with that when I start to feel one come on, it's usually b/c I haven't had any in a while and just a few sips of caffinated soda helps tremedously. I'm trying to cut back from 6 20oz bottles day. I'm down to 3 a day. I tried to go to 2 this week, but started to get those stupid migraines from that. Today I'm only having 2 and I'm on my 2nd bottle now. We'll see how that goes! -------------------- Erin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IBS-D, GERD... I got it comin' outta 1 end or the other!
