Oh, that's awful! I didn't know chocolate was a GERD trigger. Although I can say that for some weird reason, pregnancy has turned me off to chocolate completely! Have you ever heard of such nonsense??!! Now that I'm past the first trimester, I can finally drink my daily cup of Lite Chocolate Silk soymilk again without gagging, but that's it! I sure hope that goes away....!

Chocolate, coming from a plant, is inherently vegan. It's the crap that's added to cheap chocolate that makes it non-vegan. Most, if not all, good quality dark chocolate is vegan - no milk added.
I used to love Lindt 70% dark chocolate bars - they're soy free too! Unfortunately, my bladder screams at me when I eat chocolate, and I'd be up ALL night peeing. Just not worth it

Chocolate makes you pee?
I don't like dark choc at all.I prefer milk chocolate or the kind wrapped around a caramel.Cheap chocolate makes my teeth hurt.
I know chocolate comes from a plant but to call it Vegan(since i am far from that)just sounds healthy.
Chocolate shouldn't be heathy.It's supposed to be sinful.

Yeah - my bladder has like little ulcers in it, so anything acidic irritates it and I will pee constantly. And chocolate is very acidic.
If anyone is interested, there is a vegan "milk" chocolate made with rice milk. I've not tried it myself, but it sure looks good, especially if you don't like dark chocolate. It's called Ricemilk Choco, I think it's made by Terra Nostro or something like that.

I saw that one at the Health Food store, Fen. Make sure you pay attention to the fat grams, though. The one I saw had like 14gms total, and about 6gms saturated. Too much for my belly to handle!!!

I just bought vegan choc. chips. It said its totally non-dairy and the only ingredients are: evaporated cane juice, chocolate liquor and non-dairy cocoa butter. Is that stuff ok? Fancymom: I know you eat carob chips and I saw them today but they made me nervous cause it said something like it was made out of wheat. So I bought these instead. I see that people eat them. Just the chocolate liquor made me a bit nervous. Oh well... dont know unless you try right?!
