can we eat chocolate IN things? like
the luna bars that are chocolate or chai?
how about the chocolate outers of the tofutti ice cream sandwhiches?
i mean, i understand the baking cocoa concept for baking browies/cookies etc - but what about these other forms of chocolate?

Things with cocoa in them are just fine. It's the dairy that is the problem...so.... if the chocolate has any milk products in them it's a definite NO.
The Tofutti Cuties or other Soy ice creams or sweets with cocoa are safe to eat.

i don't eat those luna bars anymore, but i'm quite familiar with the Tofutti Cuties.  
i can handle them just fine... but i eat them after soluble fiber. Heather even says in her book that there's no way she would give up chocolate and she eats a little after her soluble fiber laden dinner.
as for the Luna bars, i would see how you tolerate them. maybe i'd steer clear on days i was feeling iffy, but on a good solid stable day, maybe go for it. see what happens! of course, it would be best if you did it with/after some soluble fiber, but i realize those are meal bars or snack bars, so eating them with a meal defeats the purpose, eh?
by the way, i heart chocolate A LOT!

Other than dairy (as Jen mentioned), the main reason Heather says to avoid solid chocolate is the huge amounts of fat. But if you find products that contain chocolate and are still low in fat (and dairy-free, of course) they should be fine! Personally, I've recently become addicted to almost every type of Luna bar and haven't had a single one bother me!

OK-I have heard a lot about Luna bars on here, but have never tried one. What are some of the best flavors? What about Power Bars? Are they OK? Has anyone had trouble with them?
Thanks, Amy

Bethany, I have asked Gr8ful that twice now, but still haven't gotten an answer. I was wondering the same thing! Did she just get them off the internet, or are they personal or what??

Luna bars are soy protein bars. before ibs/reflux i had no reason to eat them. lol. but here i am
i bought a few the other day to try since i've never had them because i get light headed if i dont eat protein sometimes. I had one the other day and seemed to do ok with it, it was the orange bliss. I didn't buy the chai or chocolate cuz i wasn't sure..but now that i know that chocolate is ok as long as there is no dairy..chocolate luna bars here i come!!
it is a meal bar...and i had it after a bowl of pasta for lunch.
am going to try that again today so we'll see.
