Hi Marnie - What matters here is that you're using a pure, unsweetened cocoa powder. You wouldn't want to eat this or mix it into a drink straight - it's very bitter. It's just for cooking. Hershey's cocoa powder (in the brown tin) is good because it has a nice rich chocolately flavor when you bake with it. It's also what Hershey's syrup is made from. Neither the cocoa powder nor the syrup have any fat, which is why they're safe for IBS. Also, the caffeine in chocolate is tied to the fat, so when you remove one you remove the other.

Thus, the many delicious chocolate desserts that are IBS safe!
