Chocolate typically isn't the best thing to eat. I personally can handle a small piece of chocolate every once in awhile. But if I eat even just a small amount daily it will give me problems. I won't have problems immediately it will usually show up the next morning and through out the day. It can take time to get myself back on track even after small amounts. I would be extremely careful eating chocolate even if it's not affecting you now it could be affecting you down the road. You really need to eliminate these trigger foods until you are able to get yourself stable and stick to safe foods and once you're stable you can then slowly start introducing some things back into your diet and you will be able to see what you can and can't tolerate. It is important to remember that just because you eat something and it doesn't bother you immediately it doesn't mean that you can tolerate it. Especially if you have not gotten yourself stable yet, it can be hard to tell.
