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.

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.

I some times make a chocolate syrup from the Fair Trade cocoa powder we can get here. Mind you I heat to a boil with sugar, water, vanilla and a bit of salt to ensure it is well dissolved. I find it is okay. However, dark chocolate (90%) in bars seems to be a bit of a problem.

Cocoa powder is high in fiber - about 20-30% by weight - most of which is insoluble fiber. However, I use 3/4 cup of it with 4 cups of sugar so a tablespoon contains about 1/3 of gram of fiber. It could be that is too much for you. Not sure what the heat does but it seems to make it creamer -------------------- 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       #365984 - 09/02/11 11:17 AM Edit Reply Quote mavera Reged: 12/28/10 Posts: 108 Loc: The Netherlands I see.. cocoa is high in insoluble fibre, hmm. That would probably be the problem for me. I thought the heat would make the fiber easier to tolerate (just like cooking) (??)

I used to be a chocolate addict, and can now tolerate none. Cocoa powder gives me awful reflux and uncontrollable burping. If I'm having a good day, I can tolerant a tiny bit of cocoa cereal (make sure it's IBS safe) or a safe baked good ex chocolate cake. Cocoa not baked into something is a big no no for me, and some days even the tiniest bit of cocoa in any form gives me reflux and nausea. -------------------- IBS A (more D than C).
