I make chocolate syrup from cocoa and use it all the time.

I'm guessing not, but it can't hurt to ask...... *Fingers crossed.* Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: cocoa powder       #361343 - 10/09/10 07:40 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA In this newsletter Heather says "Unfortunately, chocolate in any form can worsen reflux, so you may well have to forego this particular treat altogether. Why the discrepancy? Chocolate contains theobromine (a compound that's also found in tea and coffee), which relaxes the esophageal sphincter muscle (just like peppermint), and triggers reflux. So chocolate, like peppermint, is one of the few foods that can be perfectly safe for lower, but not upper, GI problems.

Sorry if it is a silly question.

Here is the recipe. I believe it is on the board somewhere. 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1 1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon decaf instant coffee 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch sea salt 1 cup water Mix dry ingredients well in a pan. Slowly add water and vanilla until powder is reasonably well dissolved. Heat on medium with regular stirring until mixture just begins to boil. Turn off heat and leave pot on burner for 4-5 mins stirring periodically. Put in container, store in fridge use as required. I love it on toast -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: cocoa powder       #365971 - 09/01/11 01:51 PM Edit Reply Quote mavera Reged: 12/28/10 Posts: 108 Loc: The Netherlands I was searching for cacoa powder (and found this post), since I found out this also triggers my IBS.. It triggers nausea coming from my bowel (about 1-1.5 day after eating it, not directly). So I guess it is not an upper GI problem in my case? -------------------- PI-IBS-C/A nausea & very bad gastric pain meds: lansoprazol+macrogol started EFI +FODMAPs 1/2011. 'Relapse' for 8 months.

'Fair Trade Original/Max Havelaar'. The ingredients just say 'cocoa powder'. It's biological, made from beans from Latin America.
