It tastes pretty darn close to regular cream cheese.

BTW, any of the brownies on the recipe board travel well as does Heather's breads.
i was looking at the brownie recipes last night but i am affraid to make them. chocolate is very evil to my system and i'm wondering if i make the special ibs safe brownies if they will actually be safe for me. isn't there still caffeine in the cocoa powder? won't that still cause problems? maybe i should make them on a day i don;t have to go anywhere and see if they kill me. i miss chocolate.

Thank you, JoanMarie. You're very kind. Glad you found my fave -- it's good stuff, eh? Do you add pepperoni to it as well?

Kandee's suggestion of the tuna reminded me of the tuna-in-a-pouch. It's REAL portable -- and it's a LOT better than the canned stuff, much fresher (although a little more costly -- but worth it).

Yes, but very little. There are other substances in coffee that are extreme triggers and that's why we need to avoid it. Decaf tea can be tolerated by many even though there is still a tiny bit of caffeine in it. If I can find my chart I will post it and you can see that the small amount shouldn't cause you any harm. Unless you are actually allergic to chocolate the cocoa won't bother you. It is likey the FAT in the chocolate is the real culprit. It would be like eating a greasy snack....ug............and maybe as you know that is a trigger for sure. Another thing...many with IBS are fructose sensitive and a lot of products use HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) which can be a trigger. (For me, it's like an instant trigger!!!)..Then there is just fructose or corn syrup which may trigger some folks and not others. Want to test the cocoa without actually making the brownies? Eat something that is high in soluble fiber first...like a piece of toast or rice cake...Make a hot cocoa using 2 parts sugar to one part pure cocoa and just hot water. Drink it and see what happens. Or, my favorite, the Giradelli double chocolate hot cocoa mix powder. It uses sugar. You could put it in your rice or soy beverage, which ever you tolerate best or just use with hot water if you need to cut calories.................Hope this helps, I'm SOOOO sensitive to so many things that I never used to be..............but cocoa is NOT one of them, (and for most on this board) THANK goodness!!!! Honest, I want a cocoa fix, daily!!!

I know 32F is freezing.. and 0C is freezing. So I believe you just add 32 to whatever C degrees you have. I may be wrong on this, though.

i'll give it a try. first i have to actually buy some cocoa. was reading up on it on the internet and says that most had 0.1-0.5% caffeine and that the powder made from well fermented african cocoa beans can have less than 0.1% wonder if the label would say anything about its origin?
i'll check next time i'm out. might check the health food store today when i check on those soy pizza's and fake cream cheese
