Unfortunately, chocolate is a trigger because it is so high in fat. It also depends on when you eat it. If you eat it on an empty stomach the chance that it will cause problems is much higher than if you eat a small bit after a nice low fat, high SF meal. I eat a small bit of dairy free dark chocolate (talking 70% cocoa here) after a meal and so far haven't had any problems. I totally agree, I cannot live life without chocolate at all!! Also, make sure you are stable when you try this. If your tummy is at all touchy at the moment I would still hold off on eating chocolate because it is a trigger and will prolong your misery. I also have been eating more snacks made with cocoa to get a chocolate fix such as the peppermint fudge cake of Heather's and hot cocoa made with vanilla soy milk. Lately I have been taking my SFS in my hot cocoa as the nights get chillier Good luck!!
